Our DropOff is open 24 hours every day.

Please help make recycling happen by preparing and sorting your recyclable materials as requested on this page. Careful preparation and separation of recyclables is important because manufacturers require clean and contaminant-free materials to make new products.

Signs are located by each container in our DropOff to guide you as you sort your recyclables. Unsorted or improperly prepared materials go to the landfill.

Please, No Trash. Help keep the DropOff area clean and free of trash and litter. Take non-recyclable items back home. Do not leave them at the Recycling Center.

Please bring large loads out on weekdays before 1:00 P.M. Our DropOff is intended for household volumes only. If you regularly have large loads, we would appreciate the opportunity to help you organize the material handling, so that we can minimize your workload as well as our own.
