*The Master Recyclers Program regrets to announce that the
scheduling of a future Master Recycler Plastics Roundup is placed on hold. Markets in the niche plastics recycled at the
Master Recycler Plastics Roundups have been affected by
recent economic fluctuations. There is the hope that this is a short term problem.
Recycling is still the right thing to do!
If you have the space, please store your miscellaneous plastic as though we were going to have a roundup.
You may recycle plastics numbered 1 through 7 (styrofoam #6 not included), plastic bags, CDs, DVDs, and jewel cases at the sites listed below:
