Plastic Recycling Day

Plastic Recycling Day

The Upper Arkansas Area Council of Governments hosts another Plastic Recycling Day on Saturday, May 13th, next to the Canon City Public Works building. Fremont County residents are urged to get involved in the monthly plastic recycling. Any plastic container that displays a number inside the triangle of three arrows on the bottom can be recycled. You do not have to separate the plastic by numbers. Simply empty and rinse out your plastic containers and place them all in the same bag. Oil, antifreeze, and pesticide plastic containers cannot be accepted.

There is no charge for the plastic recycling which will run from 9 a.m. until 12 noon on Saturday, May 13th, along south 9th street next to the public works building in Canon City.

The Plastic Recycling Day is co-sponsored by the City of Canon City, the City of Florence, the Fremont Recycling Group, and the Fremont County Board of Commissioners.
