Your Recycling Areas Revealed!
A quick summary of our current recycling program...
Here’s what can be placed on the curb for pickup: cardboard, newspaper, all paper grades (except shredded), plastic #1 and #2 (bottles with a neck), aluminum cans, and steel cans (food residue must be rinsed out). All of the items must be in blue bags, clear bags or a covered bin, but the items do not need to be sorted, and they can be placed in the same bag. Lids do not need to be removed from plastic recyclables, nor do aluminum cans need to be crushed.
Other recyclable materials such as shredded paper; brown, green, and clear glass bottles; computers and small electronics except TVs or microwaves; wet cell batteries; and motor oil, can be dropped off at four convenience center locations. They are: the Warner Park Recycling Center at 1250 East Third Street; the John A. Patten Recreation Center at 3202 Kelly’s Ferry Road; Access Road at DuPont Parkway; and the East Brainerd Baseball Complex at the end of Batter’s Place Road. A Brainerd location will be announced soon. Curbside recyclables also may be dropped off at these centers.
