Woodland Recycles!

Recycling is a vital part of today’s society.  Not only does it prevent tons of waste from going to landfills, it also creates sustainable opportunities in our community.  Do your part to help the environment and remember to reduce, reuse, and recycle.  Here are some examples of what Woodland is doing to help the environment through recycling and using recycled materials:

• Partnership for increasing City parks recycling
• Freeman Park playground made from recycled material
• Community sports parks use of recycled material for fixtures 
• City of Woodland offices participate in desk-side recycling
• Green waste collected from City parks used for mulch in park landscaping
• Handouts and giveaways made from recycled material 

Residential Recycling

Curbside recycling is a mandatory part of Woodland’s residential waste program and is also available to small businesses that are within the residential waste collection area. Collection carts are available in three sizes:  35, 64, and 96 gallons. They are serviced once a week year round, on the same day as your trash pickup. Woodland’s recycling program accepts these items:

• Plastic bottles and containers #1-7

• Paper bags and food boxes
• Cardboard (flattened)
• Aluminum cans
• Tin and steel cans
• Small pieces of scrap metal
