What We "Recycle"...From A to (almost) Z
Chances are that anything you’ve ever considered discarding, donating, re-gifting or re-purposing – is an item that someone else would happily enjoy. And chances are, it’s something that we recycle. Below is a partial list of the items we currently recycle. This list is ever-growing as RECYCLE THE CITY grows.
Please check back to see if your items have been added, or let us know if you have something that's not currently listed. We welcome your ideas. If you have suggestions for other recyclable items that we should add to our list, email us at info@recyclethecity.com.
Please note: At this time we are not able to accept computer monitors.
