The City also operates a drop recycling center at the State Street Parking Lot.


The recycling carts are sandstone brown in color with a black lid. Please do not place trash in these carts. Trash carts are dark gray in color. If the trash carts are full, place your material in plastic bags near the trash carts. Please do not place trash in the recycling carts.
