 In
order to offer more recycling opportunities to residents, the
Authority has established a countywide
recycling drop-off program. There
are currently twenty-one (21) sites located throughout the county, open 24 hours
a day.
Help area
farmers by dropping off newspapers to any of the
thirteen sheds in the County. The
farmers shred the newspapers and use it for animal
bedding.
Please
see below for the locations, as well as,
the recyclable items accepted and the directions for
preparing these items.
**Please
note: by adding any materials other than
those listed will contaminate the entire
load resulting in the materials ending
up in the landfill, so please help us
get these materials back into the
recycling loop by recycling properly and
by buying products made from
recycled items.
