Recycle Right by avoiding wish-cycling!

Plastic bags, garden hoses, hangers, and string lights get tangled in our sorting system and should be thrown in the garbage or in the case of plastic bags, recycled at a retailer. Straws and plastic utensils are too small to be sorted and made of low-quality material that can't be recycled. We'll accept string lights all year long at the Electronics Recovery Center. Stryofoam, pet food bags, and other items that are a mix of materials aren't recyclable via our program. We don't know of any local styrofoam recyclers, so we suggest reuse or throwing it in the garbage. Some pet stores recycle pet food bags, but remember, when in doubt, throw it out!

Recycle old tires at the Scott Area Landfill and get on the road again!

Scott County residents can dispose of car tires on bulky waste day (if your hauler allows) or directly at the landfill. We use some of the tires (once shredded) onsite, and the rest are recycled by a company near Des Moines.
