Recycle Event

Recycle Event: Tuesday, June 9, 2026 from 7:30am - 5:00pm

Please stay in your vehicles.  We will do the unloading.  If you are bringing a large amount of light bulbs, please add up the numbers by bulb type to save us time counting them. 

Where? - Two Rivers Utilities, 1415 Lake Street (next door to McDonald's). Drive-up, drop-off, watch for signs.  Traffic cones will be placed to ensure a smooth and safe flow.

Why?  -  Proper recycling prevents toxic heavy metal and other hazardous waste from harming the local lakes and rivers.
