+As of June 1, 2010, we can no longer accept CRT televisions and computer monitors for recycling in the electronics bin at the Recycle Center. These devices use a lead glass that our recycling contractor can no longer accept due to changes in recycling and transportation regulations. Please hold these items until the Household Hazardous Waste event, held annually in October.

Please note - On Saturdays, the Recycling Center is staffed by students from local schools. These students volunteer their time and money earned from the sale of aluminum is given back to the participating schools.

If you find that the Recycling Center has not been opened during regular business hours, please call Communications at: 744-2720.
