We want to remind everyone that leaving cardboard and recyclable materials on the ground at our drop-off recycling sites is NOT the proper way to recycle.

♻️ PLEASE RECYCLE RESPONSIBLY! ♻️

Our sites have signs asking you to please hold onto your recyclable materials until the containers have been emptied, then return to recycle. We understand that the containers can fill up quickly, and we are working to keep up as best we can. We have one truck driver picking up as often as we possibly can.

Please help us keep these sites clean, safe, and accessible for everyone. Do not leave cardboard, bags of plastic & tin/aluminum, or any other recyclables on the ground when the containers are full. Take them back home and return once space is available.

We kindly ask everyone to be courteous, responsible, and respectful of our recycling drop-off sites and the community that relies on them.

Thank you for doing your part and helping us keep our recycling sites clean! 💚♻️

A great 2nd Quarter 2026 for the Glass4Good Program! ♻️

A huge thank you to O-I for your continued partnership and commitment to keeping our communities clean while supporting our local economy.

According to Q1 & Q2 newsletters, a total of 83 tons of glass have been collected so far this year. What an incredible achievement—great job, everyone! 👏

Recycling glass does more than reduce waste—it helps conserve energy, protect our natural resources, and create healthier, more sustainable communities.

Jefferson County should be proud of the positive impact these recycling efforts continue to make. The county-wide drop-off recycling sites provide convenient glass recycling containers for all Jefferson County residents, making it easy to recycle glass close to home.

Thank you for doing your part to keep Jefferson County clean and beautiful. Together, we're making a difference! 🌍💚

THE RESULTS ARE IN!!!♻️
A huge thank you to our county residents for making the May 2nd Electronics and Household Hazardous Waste Collection a tremendous success!

Despite the chilly May morning, **123 registered participants** showed up to do their part in keeping our communities clean and environmentally responsible.

Thanks to your participation and commitment to proper disposal, a total of **7.24 tons** of electronics and household hazardous waste was collected and safely disposed of. We were also proud to welcome residents from **26 townships and boroughs** across the county.

We would like to extend our sincere appreciation to Goodwill Industries for providing volunteers and generously hosting the event at their location. Their partnership and support were instrumental in making this collection day possible.

A special thank you also goes to Noble Environmental and their team for serving as our vendor and helping ensure the safe, efficient, and proper handling of all materials collected.

This event was a true community effort, and its success would not have been possible without the support of our residents, volunteers, partners, and vendors. Thank you all for helping protect our environment and making a positive impact throughout Jefferson County!
