BRECKENRIDGE HILLS

IS GOING GREEN!

 

Q: WHAT IS "SINGLE-STREAM" RECYCLING?

A: Single-stream recycling means that all recyclable materials--paper, glass aluminum and
most types of plastic--can go into one container or clear plastic bag. You won't need to
sort items into multiple containers.

 

Q: HOW CAN YOU RECYLCE?

A: Please bring your recycled waste to the Street Department yard located at the corner of
Breckenridge and Pasteur. You will then place the waste in blue totes located outside
the main entrance on Breckenridge. Look for the signs and remember no trash please!
