Looking for somewhere to take your aluminum cans and plastic bottles during the recycling center's temporary closing? Our friends over at Marglen Industries have setup a trailer for your convenience! They specialize in recycling post-consumer soda bottles into clean, sustainable fiber and resin! #KeepingItLocal #KeepRecycling

Anyone wondering what to do with their large cardboard boxes while the Recycling Center is temporarily closed ? Remember, when you are through sliding, all 6 of our County Remote Sites are still recycling cardboard. Some are recycling mixed paper.

Since all of our operations require a good deal of handwork, we feel that it is best for our staff to temporarily suspend operations until the COVID 19 threat has passed. That includes: - City curbside - keep doing what you always have. When safe, the drivers will divert back to the Recycling Center. - County Remote Sites Drop-off - hold if possible, otherwise, put in with trash. Cardboard and non-commingled paper containers are still open.... - Walker Mountain Landfill - all recycling operations have been suspended. - Our GMC Groceries satellite trailer has been pulled - Recycling Center Drop-off - has been suspended Please understand that safety is our main concern. We are anxious to return to normal operations and will as soon as possible.

To help do our part to curb the spread of COVID-19, the Recycling Center will not have our Electronics Recycling Event this weekend. Any electronics dumped on our site will be considered illegal dumping. Hopefully, we will be able to have our HHW and Electronics event in May, so please hold on to your Electronics for 2 more months.

Anyone out there spring cleaning during social distancing? Don't forget to drop off your recyclables! The public drop-off is available 24/7 for all of your cardboard, paper, cans, plastic bottles and jugs. #Recycle #RecycleRight #RecyclingIsSmart #DoYourPart

In addition to our shredding service, we have cancelled our Electronics event previously scheduled for Saturday, March 21st.
