In 2006, the City expanded the recycling services provided through Clean Up – Green Up. Previously, all materials collected were taken to the area landfill. By increasing the recycling services, the City reduced the loads taken to the landfill by more than 30% in the spring. Combining both the spring and fall 2006 events, the City collected approximately 71.5 tons of scrap metal and appliances, 10.5 tons of electronics and 600 cubic yards of brush, which was converted to mulch and spread throughout our parkland.
