Recyclables go through many steps in the journey from bin to store. Once recyclables enter a WWRA drop off or curbside bin, materials are separated from contaminates and by type. They are compacted into bales and sold to recycling facilities, who specialize in specific recycled materials. Let’s look at where the WWRA’s recyclables go: Graphic…

The WWRA is now taking used motor oil. Accepted oils include engine, transmission, gear, hydraulic, bar, and chain. The WWRA does not accept cooking oil of any kind (unused or used), fuel oil, paint, engine coolant, oil with gas in it, oil mixed with water, and oil with any other contaminants.

It’s December and the holidays are almost here! The WWRA will be closed Christmas Day, Wednesday, December 25th and New Year’s Day, Wednesday, January 1st. Wednesday’s curbside pickup will be moved to Thursday, and Thursday’s Curbside Pickup will be moved to Friday. Please email wwraeduoutreach@gmail.com with questions or concerns.
