Recycling Programs
In addition the Loraas ‘Blue Bin’ as part of regular recycling collection, we encourage residents to recycle to cut down waste and to prevent potentially hazardous materials from entering landfills and ecosystems. In 2016 we hosted our first Household Hazardous Waste Collection day, providing a collection site for residents to bring materials not meant for the local landfill. Watch for updates regarding future dates for Household Hazardous Waste Collection.
