How do I sort my recyclables?
There are four groups of recyclables: Plastic, Aluminum, Glass, and Paper / cardboard. If you only recycle a small amount of paper, then use the bins for plastic, aluminum and glass. Put the paper in a paper-bag (or plastic bag) off to the side.
Please breakdown and flatten all cardboard boxes.
What do you take?
All Plastics labeled #1 thru #7 (with the exception of bags, wrappers, and styrofoam), glass bottles, aluminum cans, copier and computer paper (all sizes and colors), newsprint, magazines, and cardboard. A detailed flyer can be downloaded and printed: What we recycle (pdf)
Do you serve my neighborhood?
Look at our list of the current residential customers.
If you are not on the service area, contact your HOA or neighborhood group to contract with us.
If you have no HOA or group, then based on the number of residents and the distance from current service area, we will set a minimum customer requirement which will vary from 10 to 30.
Where do the recyclables go?
All of our material goes to the New Hanover County's main recycling facility. It is then processed and shipped to different companies throughout the region where it is recycled and returned to market.
How do I sign up?
First, is your neighborhood in the current service area? If it is, then fill out the contact form.
