Please bundle or tie the strands and place them in the designated bins located outside these facilities. Bins at all locations are available 24 hours a day.

The tree limb diversion portion of the city recycling center is open to accept trees six days a week Monday thru Wednesday 8 am to 4:45 pm and Thursday thru Saturday 8 am to 5:45 pm.
Wrapping Paper: The recycling center can accept wrapping paper in the chip/paperboard container until the end of January. Just look for the sign that will direct you to this particular container.
