Use the new containers to recycle plastic and glass bottles and cans, aluminum, steel and tin cans, and drink boxes.

Recycling at Boat Ramps and Marinas: Yachters, boaters and those who like to fish along our waterways are encouraged to take advantage of the monofilament and recycling containers located at City boat ramps and marinas.
