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.
