Services
Residential Recycling
Our residential recycling program provides twice-monthly curbside collection for households in Sumner, Robertson, and Springfield. Each customer receives a 96-gallon recycling cart with clear guidelines for acceptable materials including paper, plastic, cardboard, aluminum, and metal cans. This service helps residents reduce landfill waste while promoting environmental sustainability through material reprocessing.
Community Partnerships
We actively collaborate with local programs, small businesses, and charitable organizations to enhance community sustainability efforts. These partnerships help expand our environmental impact beyond basic recycling services while supporting local initiatives that align with our mission of creating cleaner, more sustainable communities through collective action and shared resources.
Material Sorting Guidance
We provide comprehensive guidance on proper material sorting to ensure effective recycling. Our program clearly defines acceptable materials like paper, plastic, and metals while specifying non-acceptable items such as glass, food waste, and plastic bags. This education helps maintain recycling quality standards and maximizes the amount of material that can be successfully repurposed rather than ending up in landfills.
