The Solid Waste Authority operates a countywide drop Off recycling program to provide residential recycling to areas that do not have access to curbside recycling.
Nineteen (19) sites located throughout the county are open 7 days a week, 24 hours a day.

Are you in the loop?
Recycling doesn't end when you throw a can or a bottle into the recycling container. You need to buy products made out of recycled materials to "close the loop" and truly make recycling work. By buying recycled products, you help create a demand for recycled materials and help create markets for recycled products. So the next time you're shopping, look close and BUY RECYCLED!
You can help area farmers by putting your newspapers in any of the 10 newspaper recycling sheds in the county.
Farmers shred the newspapers and use it for animal bedding. Then the used bedding and manure can be spread on their fields as a soil amendment.
CLick on the map to locate any of the Jefferson county recycling drop-off sites!
