Amercia Recycles Day: Nov. 15

America Recycles Day is November 15th. City Carton Recycling, the Cedar Rapids/Linn County Solid Waste Agency, and the City of Cedar Rapids team up to create Recycle More Linn County! The team is working together to promote recycling more stuff, more often, and in more places in Linn County for America Recycles Day and every day of the week!

If your neighborhood doesn't have curbside recycling service or you want to de-clutter right away, there are ways for you to recycle any time you want. The three agencies offer a complete solution to recycle just about anything easily, and often for free.

The Recycle More Linn County website, www.RecycleMoreLinnCounty.com features an easy to use guide that shows where many different items can be taken for recycling along with interactive maps that show area drop sites and specifics of what can get recycled at these locations. From paper and plastic to electronics and scrap metal, the answer is just a mouse scroll away!

While Cedar Rapids residents can continue recycling through the city's Curbside Recycling Program, Recycle More Linn County was formed to help residents who may not have recycling options where they live, like those living in rural Linn County, apartments and manufactured homes, that recycling is available and easy. Recycle More Linn County promotes recycling drop-off sites available at City Carton Recycling and the two Cedar Rapids/Linn County Solid Waste Agency locations. In addition, Recycle More Linn County also added a link for City of Marion Residents so they can see what to expect from their curbside program and where a local drop site is available in town.

City Carton Recycling's drop-off site at 901 Ingleside Drive S.W., Cedar Rapids is open 24-hours a day, seven days a week to all residents of Linn County. Check out Recycle More Linn County for a full list of what can be accepted at this location.

The Cedar Rapids/Linn County Solid Waste Agency has two locations that are open from 7:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Monday through Saturday. The Landfill and Recycling location is at 1954 County Home Road in Marion and can be reached at 377-5290. The Compost/Recycling & Wood Recovery location is at 2250 A St. SW in Cedar Rapids and can be reached at 398-5163. The Solid Waste Agency recycles electronics free of charge to Linn County residents at either location. Check out Recycle More Linn County for a full list of what can be accepted at these locations.

Remember, recycle more stuff, more often, in more places. Recycle More Linn County is making recycling easy for you on America Recycles Day and every day. Please Recycle More Linn County!
