Collection Day

How much waste can we divert from the landfill as a community in 2021?

We found even more recycling opportunities for our community!

Let's make the 2021 drive bigger and better than last year's! The drive will be held from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Saturday, April 17 in MTU Parking Lot 22 (behind the SDC). The event will be set up drive-thru style to increase efficiency and minimize contact. Guidelines will be in place to protect the health of volunteers and participants.

Start Collecting These Items

• Razors
• Dental products
• Plastic bottle caps and rings
• Egg cartons
• Plastic film
• Foil-lined wrappers

Please refer to the Official WRD Guide for:

• Full list of items we are collecting this year
• Information on how to clean your items
• Where these items will be recycled
• Drop-off locations

Not sure if your plastic film is acceptable? Watch this short video from Trex to find out.

The SDH will post important updates for the drive over the next few weeks. Stay up to date on the drive by following their FB and IG pages.

Thank you to everyone who has been putting in the extra effort to keep your waste out of the landfill! We are looking forward to seeing you on April 17.
