What Can We Recycle?

EZ Navigator - Recycle Main >>> Recycling in Cambria County >>> What Can We Recycle?

There are many items that we use on a daily basis that can be recycled in one of our Big Blue Bin drop-off sites. Please note that although there are many things that can be recycled, there are also many things that can not be recycled in the bins.

**Note: Due to a change in markets, glossy inserts from the newspaper can now be recycled in the newspaper bin! This means that you no longer have to separate your newspapers before going to the recycling bins. Remember: If it comes in the newspaper, it goes in with the newspaper!!**
