Every morning the cycle starts again. We squeeze the last bit of toothpaste out of the tube. We pour cereal into a bowl from a cardboard box. We empty orange juice into a glass out of a carton. We buy a cup of coffee and a newspaper on our way to the office. Every day, we all contribute to the waste stream. Most of this waste can be recycled instead of tossed out and brought to a landfill. Together we can manage the waste stream safely, efficiently and using environmentally sound techniques. Luckily recycling is easy to do. We encourage you to start protecting the environment today!

House Bill 1518 requires holders of certain Alcoholic Beverage Control permits to separate, store and recycle all recyclable beverage containers. The main types of containers affected by the legislation are glass bottles, aluminum cans and plastic bottles.
OCS offers a single stream recycling program for ABC permit holders utilizing 64 gallon blue cart on wheels labeled RECYCLABLES ONLY serviced weekly. Materials do not need to be separated which allows for more space, especially in establishments that have indoor space constraints or are located in downtown areas with little outside space. Once recycled materials are removed from the regular waste stream it may be that the remaining waste is minimal and can allow for downsizing of trash cans.
Recycling Fact: It takes at least 200 years for one aluminum can to break down in the ground. Aluminum cans that are recycled are back on store shelves as new cans in less than 60 days.
