Waste After the Holidays

What Goes Where?

After Christmas, what do I do with all of the cardboard,

wrapping paper and old electronics?!

• Cardboard boxes can be flattened and placed in your curbside recycling cart. If they don't all fit, you can bring them to one of our Drop-Off Locations.

• Wrapping paper can be recycled as long as it isn't shiny, metallic, or glittery. Bows and ribbons cannot.

• If you got a new device or gadget for Christmas, don't throw your old electronics away. Bring them to one of our Drop-Off Locations to be recycled and disposed of properly.

Hastings Hometown Christmas Parade

Spreading the Holiday Spirit

The Solid Waste Division was excited to participate in the Hastings Hometown Christmas Parade last month. Staff joined other members of St. Johns County including the Public Works Department, Public Library, and Parks & Rec. There was a great turn out and LOTS of candy!
