Why Recycle?
In one month, a typical family produces a mountain of trash. In fact, each American creates 4.4 pounds of garbage each day. As a result, we are running out of landfill space. You can help save space by recycling.

If you have curbside recycling, please check the list to see what you can recycle. Don’t have curbside recycling? Check out the list of County Convenience (recycling) Centers in Florence County.
