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.
