Help your community by recycling! Our landfills are a finite resource with only so much space to hold all of our community's trash. Recycling as much as possible keeps reusable materials from going to the landfill and extends the landfill's life. Councilwoman Fowler has partnered with Solid Waste Management to provide a Recycling Bin at Sun Valley Park to allow Southwest residents to dispose of recyclable materials for FREE!
(Only Paper, Cardboard, Plastic, and Glass are allowed. No hazardous materials or containers are permitted.)
WHERE: Sun Valley Park
6505 Bethany Lane
*Recycling Bin open during Park Hours
