About Recycletown
Welcome to Recycletown, where truly
comprehensive recycling takes place. We look at the whole waste stream,
recognizing that products as well as packaging, are thrown away. We know
that reuse, repair and reconditioning are the most appropriate first
options for an Integrated Waste Management approach. Only when those
options have been exhausted do we recycle them, knowing there are environmental
liabilities even with recycling. This page is designed to help you participate.
Feel free to visit our yards, we may have something you need. Whenever
you buy something from us, you are being a recycler. Buying recycled
is a vital part of the recycling process. We have found that by giving
life to that which has been discarded, we have new possibilities for
our own lives. We hope you will feel the same way.
