Thursday, November 26, 2009: Thanksgiving Day - No County-provided recycling or trash collections on November 26; Thursday and Friday collections that week shift by one day. Transfer Station closes at 5 p.m. on November 25; closed November 26.
Effective September 21, 2009, our recycling program expanded to accept additional blue bin and mixed paper items!
The Recycling Center sits on approximately nine acres of land on Route 355, just south of Shady Grove Road. The facility is near the County's Solid Waste Transfer Station.
Residents may bring recyclable items to the Public Unloading Area at the Shady Grove Transfer Station. Materials are not accepted directly at the Recycling Center building.
We emphasize safety at the facility, and 2006, 2007 and 2008 were injury-free years. Additionally, revenue generation typically equals or exceeds operating costs.
Since its inception in 1991, more than 125,000 school children have toured the Recycling Center and received a first-hand look at how recyclables are processed and learned about the benefits of recycling.
More than numbers, however, it is the spirit of service and constant improvement at the Recycling Center that make the facility such an important part of the community.
