Reuse for Recycling Bins


Arcata Garbage Company has recently distributed brand new dual-stream recycling toters for curbside recycling collection to Arcata households. Until this time curbside customers have been using a hodgepodge of bins for containing their recyclables at the curb. It is anticipated that the distribution of new toters will leave behind a wake of now obsolete plastic totes and crates, many of which bear the Arcata Garbage Company logo.

Curbside recycling customers are encouraged to find a new use for their old plastic bins. However if unwanted, the Arcata Community Recycling Center’s (ACRC) 9th and N Street drop-off yard is poised to accept these bins for repurposing.

This winter the rollout of Arcata’s curbside recycling program will continue to include multifamily housing establishments. Space for recycling storage may be minimal in these residential arrangements. ACRC will make clean, repurposed recycling bins available to Arcata residents in such a situation free of charge at the Reusable’s Depot Thrift Store to help alleviate storage issues. Please call 445-4321 for more information about this reuse opportunity.
