Staff members attend conferences and seminars to keep informed of the latest developments. Convenient Recycling Centers are offered for residents. Any one of these programs or services could not stand alone as the answer to the complex challenges facing today's municipal solid waste managers. Yet, when utilized as a part of the Integrated Solid Waste Management System, the combined effect on the reduction of our waste stream is significant. Curbside collection of recyclables is provided through all Springfield waste haulers.
Curbside recycling is the easiest, most convenient method of recycling.
It eliminates the need to store recyclables, load them in your car, then take them to a Recycling Center and unload them. You simply set the recyclables by your curb on your designated collection day. That's all there is to it. And since weekly pick-up is available, there will be no more stacks of recyclables taking up space in your home or garage. Rates charged, items accepted and frequency of pick-up vary among waste haulers.
