Additional Recycling Resources

Because we are a specialty resource committed to exclusively handling household hazardous waste, there are some items we are not equipped to accept. These include any single stream items such as cardboard, plastic, glass and paper, slash and yard waste, scrap metal, as well as the following listed items. There are private recycling/reuse companies not affiliated with our center that may accept certain items. Please note there may be fees, that we are not able to confirm their recycling methods are appropriate, and they may discontinue services without our knowledge. Please call ahead to confirm the information.
