Eureka Recycling in Summit Hill

2010 Recycling Guide Link

In the Summit Hill Neighborhood recycled materials are collected every Friday - unless preceded by a major holiday (New Year Day, Memorial Day, Fourth of July, Labor Day, Thanksgiving, and Christmas Day), then the pickup is on Saturday.  Annually, Eureka Recycling mails each resident a recycling schedule.  If you need recycling containers, call SHA at 222-1222 and we can arrange for you to pick up 2 blue recycling bins per household at the Linwood Community Center, 860 St. Clair Avenue.  Center hours are 7 a.m. to 9 p.m. Mon-Thursdays, 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. Fridays, and Saturdays, 9a.m. to 1 p.m.

Eureka Recycling is a nonprofit organization that specializes in recycling and waste reduction. It provides cutting-edge, economically sustainable programs that serve the Twin Cities metro area, including the Twin Cities Free Market, the recycled paper co-op, event recycling, compost workshops, and more. Its mission is to reduce waste today through innovative resource management and to reach a waste-free tomorrow by demonstrating that waste is preventable not inevitable.
 
Sorting Procedures:

Summit Hill residents should sort their materials into two categories: all PAPERS & CARDBOARD go together in one bin or paper bag and all BOTTLES & CANS (glass, aluminum, steel and plastic bottles) go in another bin or paper bag.

This sorting system makes it possible to collect plastic bottles affordably. There are many challenges to making plastic bottle recycling affordable, and residents need to do their part to make it work. The success of this addition relies on you doing these four things:
 
1. ONLY PLASTIC BOTTLES marked with a 1 or a 2 in the triangle on the bottom! Anything you try to “slip in” with your bottles—like those yogurt tubs—must be sorted out and disposed of at a cost.

2. FLATTEN IT! Driving around light and bulky plastic bottles full of air is expensive and wastes fuel.

3. DON'T USE PLASTIC BAGS!  Bags are not the same plastic as bottles and cannot be recycled in this program. Recycling in plastic bags will not be collected, except clothes and linens.

4. NO NEEDLES! Do not put plastic bottles that have been used to dispose of needles with recycling. Throw them in the trash!
