Disposal Collections Calendar
As we all know these are tough economical times and unfortunately Region D Recycling & Waste Management District is not exempt. The District WILL NOT be hosting scrap tire and appliances and miscellaneous metals collections in 2010. Listed below you will find opportunities to recycle scrap tires and appliances and miscellaneous metals. The District will be able to offer recycling and proper disposal for Household Hazardous Waste (HHW) that includes agricultural waste and the opportunity to recycle electronics including microwaves. While we regret having to charge for recycling service, we are left with no other options, but to ask participants to share in the cost.
