🌍♻️ Happy Earth Day! ♻️🌍

Today is a reminder that small actions add up to a big impact. At Pope/Douglas Solid Waste Management, we’re proud to serve our community by turning waste into valuable resources through recycling, composting, and responsible solid waste management.

Every item you recycle correctly, every plastic bag you reduce, and every effort you make, helps to conserve energy, protect our natural resources, and keep our community clean. 🌱

Did you know? Composting food scraps and yard waste keeps valuable nutrients in the soil and out of landfills thus reducing greenhouse gas emissions and supporting healthier ecosystems.

This Earth Day, join us in making a difference by:
✔ Reducing and reusing before you buy new.
✔ Recycle right, know before you throw. ♻️
✔ Compost your food scraps at home or at our public organic recycling drop sites in Pope & Douglas county.

Together, we can build a cleaner and sustainable future, one recycling bin at a time. 💚
