The Recycling Center has 2 Household Hazardous Waste Days scheduled for 2021. The rest of the site will be closed for any other drop off or pick up. There are a few changes to their procedures and fees. They are now charging by car load vs can by can, by eliminating the handling of items the process will be safer for their volunteers and should make it run a bit faster.
