Recycling Drop-Off Program

Recycling Drop-Off Locations

The District operates drop-off recycling stations throughout its four counties. These locations offer residents an opportunity to recycle at their convenience as all the locations are open 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

Recently the recycling program transitioned to single-stream recycling.

What is single-stream recycling? It simply means that all accepted items can go in the same bin. No more sorting!
