  • Signs made of paper or cardboard can be recycled curbside once they are disassembled
  • It is important to note that you cannot place wire in curbside recycling bins
  • Wire can be dropped off at recycling centers like the Drop Off Station (as well as the cardboard and paper components)
  • Unfortunately, yard signs made of plastic cannot be recycled

All customers taking materials to the Drop Off Station must pay an entrance fee, which is $3 for a standard vehicle. Other fees may be applied depending on the services you seek.

The Drop Off Station is located at 2950 East Ellsworth Rd.

Hours
