Grand reopening! The Douglas County School district has approved the reopening of the Community Recycling Center on Sat, July 11. We will be open 10AM to noon as usual, but will close earlier if the bins fill up. To keep our volunteers and clients safe, please wear a face mask and gloves, and observe 6-foot distancing. Do not arrive before 10AM, since we will be enforcing single file access to the bins - cars must line up, one at a time come up to the bins to dump, and the next car cannot approach until the car ahead is leaving. Please strictly observe the rules for what can be recycled: clean paper (but no shredded material!), clean cardboard (no dirty pizza boxes!), metal beverage and food cans (no hangers or pots!) , plastics labeled 1 -7 (no bags!), and glass beverage and food containers. Anything that cannot be recycled must go home with you. And please limit the amount of material you bring to recycle, since many people will be waiting to recycle their material. Note that all services depend on us having enough volunteers to staff the yard. We now have a Facebook page! Like/follow our page to get announcements. Who We Are: Founded in December 2010, Community Recycling Center is a volunteer organization that provides free recycling to the residents of the Town of Castle Rock, Colorado and its surrounding communities. When: Every Saturday from 10 am - 12 pm. These hours are effective now (2020). Note that the site must close early if the bins fill up before noon. Where: 701 Prairie Hawk Drive, at the southwest corner of Wolfensberger Rd. and Prairie Hawk Drive, Castle Rock.
