Cardboard drop-offs are collected most days except Sundays. If a container is already full when you arrive, please proceed to the next closest or stop by the next afternoon. Please do not leave anything on the ground at drop-offs sites. Leaving material outside the container is littering, and no super recycler wants to do that!
