2012 CURBSIDE RECYCLING PROGRAM EXPANSION

The City of Perrysburg is expanding the curbside recycling collection program effective April 23, 2012. Everything you recycle instead of tossing in the trash, decreases the amount of money spent on landfill disposal fees. Since 2006, the city  has incurred no disposal fees for recycling because the payment for these items covered the handling cost. The more we recycle, the better use of tax dollars. Listed below are the items that can be recycled curbside beginning April 23rd.
