Appliances such as stoves, washing machines,
refrigerators, freezers, air conditioners and other types of scrap
metal are collected at landfills or transfer stations for
recycling.
Vegetative
waste, including leaves and wood, are collected to create valuable
compost and mulch. The material is sold as commercial soil
amendments or distributed to residents or organizations.
Used tires
are collected at landfills or transfer stations to be chipped for
use as a ground covering for children's playgrounds and horse
arenas or burned for fuel. Propane tanks are either refurbished for
continued use or emptied and cut up for scrap metal. This program
was implemented in 2003 in response to a new federal safety
standard that resulted in many tanks becoming obsolete.
