Recycle
Bring all unwanted catalogs, phone books, newspapers, school and office papers, magazines, paperback books and junk mail to the recycle bin at Huntsburg Recreation Park.
Cardboard is accepted. 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.
The township earns money for the paper it collects, so recycling is a way residents can support the community without having to reach into their pockets.
Help keep the recycling center clean.
