Our is a voluntary program-, which significantly reduces the amount of contamination in the recyclables collected. Nearly 65% of our customers participate in the program and more sign up each week.

    Rather than just have sites, it should be mandatory for every home! I see no reason not to sort metals, plastics, papers

    I save my soda cans for a friend’s daughters. They would save them all year long for fair money. The family has since moved away and my truck bed is near full. It appears you can just pull right alongside the container.

    Recycling is very important to us all…if you don’t think so watch “The Secret Life of Garbage” sometime!
