Recycling

Why is Recycling Important?

Transforming everyday garbage into useful items for tomorrow is a tried-and-true method of preserving our environment. Recycling conserves energy and natural resources, reduces air and water pollution, extends the life of existing landfills and decreases the need for new ones, reduces greenhouse emissions, and even boosts economic development.

The ECUA Recycling Program is completely voluntary and to date, 75% of our residential sanitation customers have chosen to participate in the program!

ECUA uses a single-stream recycling system, which means the customer puts all recyclables in the gray recycling can, no sorting is required! An ECUA recycling truck will deliver the commingled recyclables to our processing facility that will do the sorting. While sorting is not required by the customer, it is very important that only acceptable items be placed in the gray recycling can.
