County employees sort recyclables by hand, so your actions will not only make their job easier but also help the County recover more money. By recycling, you can keep solid waste costs under control and keep Clay County beautiful. See the FAQ below for more information.

TRANSFER STATION FAQ

RECYCLE THESE ITEMS FREE

Plastic Bottles, 1’s & 2’s only – The # is usually within a triangle on the bottom, or near the bottom of the container. For example, most soft drink and water bottles are #1’s. Milk and laundry soap jugs are usually #2’s. Aluminum cans Corrugated Cardboard Scrap Metal, including appliances such as dish washers, washing machines and ovens (nothing with freon!!) Mixed Paper, including newspapers, magazines, junk mail and cereal boxes. If its paper and not corrugated it goes in this category. Motor Oil Antifreeze Car batteries If you would like to recycle a refrigerator or anything with Freon, there is no charge for this.



HOW YOU CAN HELP

Rinse all containers Remove lids from plastic bottles Place recyclables loose in the bins (e.g., not in bags) You do not have to remove any labels. Do not put soiled items such as paper towels, paper plates, or napkins in the recycling bins Break down corrugated boxes if possible



NOT RECYCLABLE

Plastics with the numbers 3-9, such as yogurt or margarine containers Glass bottles – recycling glass bottles is not feasible at present because of our location, shipping costs, minimum load requirements, current and historical selling prices, infrastructure costs, labor costs, fuel costs, etc. We continue to monitor current pricing, however, and if this changes, we will post this on this page and at the Transfer Station.
