The College Cultural Neighborhood Association is partnering with Woodside Church, the Genesee County Metropolitan Planning Commission and CBC Recycling to bring the Genesee County Recycling Trailer to the neighborhood.
The mobile recycling trailer will be set up to make it easier for neighborhood residents to drop off recycling each month. The trailer will be located in the rear parking lot of Woodside Church on the dates below.
Mike Keeler, vice president of the College Cultural Neighborhood Association said, “Over the years many of our neighbors have been avid recyclers. Until now we haven’t had the luxury and convenience of being able to drop off recycling right in our own neighborhood.”
The dates for the recycling trailer will be:
- June 4-5
- July 2-3
- August 6-7
- September 3-11
- October 5-12
- November 5-13
- December 3-11
Clean and dry recyclable items that can be dropped off at the trailer include:
- #1 clear plastic bottles (PET)
- #2 plastic bottles (natural PET)
- Tin and aluminum
- Office paper
- Newspaper and junk mail
- Corrugated cardboard (flatten the boxes)
The county’s solid waste planner, Nate Scramlin said, “We are pleased to see city neighborhoods taking advantage of this valuable county resource. As I see more and more city neighborhoods signing up for this service it solidifies the need and desire to have curbside recycling by city residents.”
The County recycling trailer is a free service offered by the Genesee County Metropolitan Planning Commission. Anyone interested in utilizing the service is encouraged to call the Genesee County Recycling Hotline at (810) 762-7744 or email recycle@co.genesee.mi.us.
Jim Richardson, who is on the board at Woodside Church, said the church has worked on recycling for years. He said, “Woodside is happy to host this community service for our neighborhood.”
