Help Reduce the Trash Headed to the Landfill. Recycle!
Our state of the art recycling center is rapidly becoming the regional recycling leader.
In 2023, we all worked together to divert an astounding amount of trash from the landfill by recycling:
- 920,000 pounds cardboard
- 240,000 pounds mixed paper
- 350,000 pounds metal
- 15,340 pounds aluminum
- 150,000 pounds plastic
This EQUALS 1.7 million pounds of recyclable materials NOT going to the landfill PLUS…
- 69 1-gallon paint cans
- 896 tires (not including tires from our April Great American Cleanup amnesty)
- 15 pickups of 300-gallon oil drums
- FULL clothing/shoe bins picked up twice a week
- 40,000 pounds of shredded paper
Amazing! Thank you for helping!
