Spring is here! We are currently 1/2 through our current fiscal year and we need your support more than ever. It takes a considerable amount of money to process recyclables and the revenue we receive does not entirely cover our processing costs. If you are currently using our drop-off sites please consider becoming a member of "Friends of Recycling". Keep in mind that all Active Members of our "Friends of Recycling" support group will receive free electronics recycling and free use of our commercial shredder. Non-members will be charged .30/pound to recycle electronics and $5/legal box to use our commercial shredder.

Memberships are available for as little as $25/year. Household memberships of $50/year will also receive (3) coupons for trash disposal ($9 value). Click Here to download a membership form. Upon sending in your membership, you will receive a receipt and membership card. All memberships are tax deductible.

New hours of operation for our Fremont Collection Center. We have added an additional day to our schedule to help accomodate individuals who need to use the center later in the afternoon. We have decided to open our center on Wednesday from 4:00 pm- 6:00 pm.

Here are our current hours of operation:

Monday 9AM- 1PM

Wednesday 4PM- 6PM

Thursday 4PM-7PM

Saturday 8AM- 1PM

If you not make it during these hours please use our 24/7 trailer, or you may call and make an appointment.

Last but not least we ended 2011 with just shy of 1300 tons of recyclables. This is almost 2,600,000 pounds of material.

Keep up the hard work, and don't hesitate to contact us with any question you may have!

Respectfully,

Jessica DeKryger, director
