From newspapers to refrigerator boxes, there is little the Durango
Recycling Center cant handle. Thankfully, the residents of Durango
take advantage of the service and generate an estimated 3,000 tons
of recyclables annually, which are processed and shipped from the
Durango Recycling Center at 710 Tech Center Drive. The recycling
program which began in April of 1990 has steadily grown as new
materials, including telephone directories and corrugated
cardboard, have been added to the allowed recyclables. The latest
addition to the recycling operation is plastic which joined the
line-up in March of last year. With three drop-off locations in
Durango as well as sites in Bayfield and Ignacio, there is no
reason to let those beer bottles and milk containers clog the
landfills. To find drop-off locations or to inquire about curbside
collection, visit the City of Durangos website at:
