It’s Easy To Recycle Your Wrapping Paper, Boxes In North Escambia
December 26, 2017
You can “go green” with those piles of Christmas wrapping paper and boxes by recycling them at one of several drop-off locations around North Escambia or in your weekly ECUA pickup.
Christmas wrapping paper, along with other household paper, plastics, steel and aluminum can be placed in your recycling container on your normal ECUA pickup day. For details on which items are accepted — and which are not — see the list below.
ECUA offers curbside recycling for customers in the unincorporated areas of Escambia County. In addition, ECUA is offering free Christmas tree collections. ECUA customers in Escambia and Santa Rosa Counties may place real wreaths and Christmas trees at the curb for pick-up with their regular yard waste collection. Customers are asked to remove all tinsel and decorations from their trees before placing them at the curb and to ensure that trees, or portions of trees, are no more than 6 feet in length. Trees can be placed at the curb with other yard trash, and should not be placed in the recycling cans or green garbage containers.

ECUA has accepted glass for many years. There was a small interruption after the Montgomery facility closed but the ECUA program began accepting glass in 2010 and the new ECUA facility, which opened in September 2016, has always accepted glass. You may be thinking of the City of Pensacola, whose program does not accept glass.
I recycle my plastic bags like Walmart, CVS, Walgreeens Publix, Winn Dixie and Dollar General at the grocery stores recycle boxes
Just recently has ECUA begun to take glass. Powdered and pulverized glass can be mixed with asphalt for roadways. Recycle when you can.
Florida and the rest of the world are light years ahead of Alabama where recycling is concerned. In Baldwin County even aluminum cans wind up with regular garbage. No recycling stations whatsoever.
