Recycling Opportunities

 

Bookmark this site and check periodically for our recommendations on specific recycling programs offered by various industries.

General Resources

  • Earth 911. Nationwide online access to local recycling in your area, by ZIP code. Find local reuse and recycling centers, where to take hazardous waste, and information on other environmental resources in your area.

Material-Specific Resources

  • Overhead transparencies. 3M recycles used overhead transparencies (regardless of manufacturer) to recover the polyester plastics. Free transparency film recycling boxes and shipping labels are available.
  • Rechargeable batteries. The Rechargeable Battery Recycling Corporation (RBRC) allows public agencies to participate in its Charge Up to Recycle! battery recycling program free of charge. As part of the program, RBRC provides collection kits free of change and pays all shipping, processing, and recycling costs.
