TerraCycle at Stout with Full Circle Sustainability

On Fridays from 3:00-6:00 p.m. or Saturdays 10:00 a.m.-4:00 p.m. bring your hard-to-recycle items up to Stout Elementary to send to the TerraCycle program. Valley Park based Full Circle Sustainability is hosting special recycling boxes in Room 6 at Stout Elementary. 

Residents will finally have options for recycling items like chip bags, granola bar wrappers, sneakers, old skateboards, inner tubes, and more! Pretty much anything that the county curbsite recycling or hazard waste cannot take, Full Circle can! Some items can be recycled for free and others can be recylced with a small fee. Bring your items in for a quote or further details can be found on Full Circle's blog. 

Questions can be directed to info@FullCircleSustainability.org
