- Recycling – yellow bin
- Have we bin good?
Where we're at now
In April 2023, 98% of trucks were recycled and 2% of trucks were sent to landfill at a total cost of $10,000.
We can only recycle if we have the correct, clean items in the yellow bin. Do your part to help us recycle by putting the correct items in your yellow bin.
