The Recycling for the Valley program was introduced in the fall of 2001.
Residents of the Valley Region can recycle:
Cardboard and boxboard
Tin and steel cans
Plastics (numbered 1, 2, 4 or 5)
Mixed paper
Plastic shopping bags are accepted for recycling.
Place empty bags in the plastic compartment of the reycling bin.
Be careful not to leave articles inside bags, including sales slips.
Check out the 'Recycling Chart' on the left to see what can -and cannot- be recycled!
What becomes of the recycled products:
Cardboard and boxboard are made into new boxes and tissue paper.
Clothing we wear may contain some recycled plastic (polyester).
Plastic is also used to make new plastic bags and even park benches.
Paper can be used to make insulation, paper towels and newsprint.
Metal food cans may be made into new car parts.
