The following is a helpful list of recycling, reuse and disposal opportunities for items not collected at the curb.

There are also a number of area vendors that provide pickup service for many of these items, and a number of residents are utilizing online websites such as www.freecycle.org as a means of advertising unwanted items that could be useful to someone else.
