There are two ways to recycle locally:
- Drop items off at a free Recycling Center
- Place items in the single stream bin at home or work. Single stream is a paid service, typically available from the same company that hauls your trash.
If you have a question on what’s accepted for recycling, use Rocky to search for a specific item or watch the videos below. Keep scrolling to see a map of recycling sites and learn about NEW recycling programs.
