‘Go Green’ for the holidays…
recycle boxes, paper
After the dust has settled and you have a
pile of boxes and wrapping paper remaining,
don’t throw away the boxes and paper…recycle it! The Rolla Recycling Center accepts most types
of wrapping paper and boxes!
Recycle your boxes and paper in your blue bin
at the curb on your scheduled day, or bring it by the Recycling Center anytime.
When dropping wrapping paper at the Recycling Center, it should be place in the
mixed paper bin. Foil wrap, ribbons, Styrofoam, and other materials should be
removed from wrapping and boxes before recycling. Those items should be
disposed of in your trash.
For more information please call the
Recycling Center at 364-6693.

get-togethers, celebrations and one of the most special times of the year.
