Staff will be supervising the mobile recycling center and educating the recyclers on how to use the recycling trailer. Recyclers will feed their own recycling into the labeled collection bins and are encouraged to bring their material pre-sorted.
The recycling trailer will collect the following separated items:
- Aluminum
- Glass
- Tin Cans
- #1 bottles
- #2 colored plastic bottles
- #2 natural plastic bottles
- #3-7 mixed plastic
- Newspaper
- Magazines and catalogs
- Office paper
- Cardboard (must be flattened to fit into bin)
Recycling must be loose inside the collection bins. No bagged recycling may be placed inside the trailer and plastic bottles can’t be tied together with rope or twine. Recyclers will be asked to take items that are not accepted, including bags, home with them. Recommended containers for transporting your recycling to the mobile trailer include paper bags (can be recycled with cardboard), cardboard boxes, and reusable totes and bags.
Polystyrene #6 is NOT accepted. The Marshall Recycling Center accepts Polystyrene #6 and is open Tuesday from 12 - 4 p.m. and Wednesday from 9 a.m. - 1 p.m. Located at 13300 15 Mile Rd., Marshall.
This is a pilot project. Changes may occur to improve customer service or program efficiency. The Solid Waste Program plans to expand rural collection locations if the pilot is successful.
The trailer is also available for use at community events where it can be used to collect items such as cardboard, aluminum cans, and water bottles. Please contact the Solid Waste and Recycling Coordinator at 269-969-6395, if you are interested in booking the trailer.
