Recycle
A new camera and light has been installed at the entrance of the Huntsburg Recreation Park to observe violators dumping unrecyclable items. With the new camera system, the township will be able to obtain license plates and driver’s faces, which will allow officials to proceed with prosecutions. Only items listed on the containers are permitted in the bins. Not everything is recyclable and no trash is allowed.
Place paper, magazines and cardboard in the paper bins. The township gets a small monetary return from the paper company. Shredded paper is accepted in clear plastic bags. Please put a small hole in the bag to allow air to escape, but not the paper.
Thank you for recycling and please keep the recycling center clean.
