Holiday recycling options available for BC residents

Because Christmas Day and New Year’s Day occur on Wednesdays this year, recycling trucks will not be on the streets of Boulder City.

As this is one of the busiest times of the year for residents to generate recyclable material, the city has partnered with B.C. Waste Free to provide customers options to consider. These include:

n Recyclables may be brought to the Boulder City Landfill for recycling from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m., seven days a week (excluding Christmas and New Year’s Day).

n Recyclables may be dropped off in the temporary container located at the Bravo Field Parking Lot (On Avenue B south of the pool). Keep mixed recycling separate from the Christmas Tree recycling container, as organics mixed in with recyclables will ruin the entire load.

If either of the other options is not convenient, excess recyclables can be placed in bags or boxes next to your green recycling tote for collection Jan. 8.

For any questions related to recycling, visit the city’s public works Web page at: www.bouldercitypublicworks.org/recycling/.
