We have lots of information listed on signage and fliers to help you know what items we accept, if you are unsure PLEASE see the Attendant.

​Delores Colada is showing us a sample of grocery bag recycling that several Churches and Nursing Homes in the area participate in to make sleeping mats for the homeless. We were very impressed with the quality and workmanship of these mats. It takes 800-1,000 bags to make one mat and there are many detailed steps involved to finish the product. They are 3 feet wide and 6 feet long, they are even machine washable and very durable. This is recycling at its best right here in Blount County!
