Join us for a (virtual)
Holiday Recycling and Reuse Fair
Winter holiday celebrations may look a little different this year, but we're still here to help with your seasonal recycling and waste prevention questions.

For the first time ever, we're hosting a (virtual) Holiday Recycling and Reuse Fair! We'll kick it off with a short recycling review, and then split into breakout rooms with themes like:
  • Creative wrapping ideas
  • DIY recipes for bath/body products (perfect for last minute gifts!)
  • Other gift ideas using repurposed items
  • Holiday recycling questions
  • And more!

And while we'll have staff and volunteers to facilitate each room, we're excited to hear your tips, too! We hope you'll come ready to learn and share.

The Holiday Recycling and Reuse Fair will be held on Thursday, December 17, 2020, with two options for attendance: 12 -1 p.m. or 5 - 6 p.m.


You can also check out these great resources from Metro about holiday recycling and waste prevention.
Don't get left out in the cold on garbage day. Download the Garbage and Recycling Day app!
Winter weather and holiday schedules can leave you wondering if your garbage or recycling collection will be delayed. When you download the free Garbage and Recycling Day app, you can sign up for service alerts and collection schedule reminders.

You can also use the What to Recycle and Where tool on the app or on our website to find out how to properly recycle or dispose of thousands of items, including Christmas trees, wrapping paper, batteries, Styrofoam and more!
