UPDATE:  The recycling center will be open on May 20 from 8am-11am and 4pm-7pm. We know everyone has lots of recyclables to take to the center! Before you head to the recycling center, here are a few things to READ to help reopen the center as smoothly and safely as possible:

DO protect  yourself and our volunteers by following the COVID-19 guidelines
      - Please wear a mask
      - Practice social distancing by staying 6 ft. away from other people
      - Don't touch your face and use hand sanitizer or wash your hands as soon as  you can after unloading
DO pre-sort your recyclables as much as possible. Also, flatten/condense bulky materials like cardboard, milk jugs, cat litter jugs and laundry detergent jugs.
DO make sure recyclables are clean.
DO be patient. There WILL be lines. Everyone has lots of recycling and it will take time to unload.

PLEASE DO NOT:
      -Overwhelm the recycling center! If you have an enormous amount of recycling, please break it up into two or more trips. Only so much can be handled at one time.
      -Bring items you can not unload yourself. Due to new health and safety regulations, the staff CAN NOT help you UNLOAD at this time. Keep bags and boxes light enough for you to carry.

Thank you for your cooperation!
