Recycling at home is easy! Throw recyclable items in some type of tote or container instead of the trash can. Not only are you keeping items out of the landfill, but you are reducing your household garbage.

To make it convenient for you, the West Monroe Recycling Center is open Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. and the first Saturday of each month.♻️
