Appliances such as stoves, washing machines, refrigerators,
freezers, air conditioners and other types of scrap metal are
collected at landfills or transfer stations for recycling.
Vegetative waste, including leaves and wood, are collected to create
valuable compost and mulch. The material is sold as commercial
soil amendments or distributed to residents or organizations.
Used tires are collected at landfills or transfer stations to be
chipped for use as a ground covering for children's
playgrounds and horse arenas or burned for fuel.
Propane
tanks are either refurbished for continued use or emptied and cut up
for scrap metal. This program was implemented in 2003 in
response to a new federal safety standard that resulted in many
tanks becoming obsolete.
