The Public Works Department maintains three recycling sites and three convenience sites throughout the county that collect residential recyclable materials from residents.
These sites contain labeled collection bins: one for newspapers only and another for aluminum cans, magazines, office paper and HDPE (milk) and PET (soda) plastics. Collection of the following items has been suspended until a market becomes available: clear glass, green glass, brown glass, and steel cans.
In addition to the items listed in Recycling Sites, white goods are taken at the Solid Waste Facility.
