For now, residents of Portal, Paradise and Whitetail can drop off recyclables at points removed - Willcox, Douglas, and Tucson. By the end of the year (and I hope sooner), there will be facilities for collecting recycables at all the urban and rural transfer stations in Cochise County. (See Department of Solid Waste for the locations of all the 14 transfer stations. Portal/Paradise is listed as a rural transfer station but, as you know, a roll-off container for collecting solid waste does not stay there.) In the meantime you can leave your plastics, paper, cans, aluminum, cardboard, and scrap metal at:
FRV Metals and Recycling - 789 N. Douglas Ave., Douglas (On the west side of town near Pirtleville) 364 3671. Accepts metal, cardboard, paper, aluminum, cans.
Express Recycling - 700 E. Maley St., Willcox (Near VTC offices, at the Twin Lakes turnoff) 384 4196. Accepts plastic, metal, cardboard, and aluminum.
City of Willcox accepts paper and cardboard in dumpsters on Railroad Avenue.
Further afield, there are 15 locations in Tucson that accept recyclables (Paper, plastic, cardboard, metal, aluminum, and glass); see Tucson Clean and Beautful for the locations of these dropoff sites. (The home page for Tucson Clean and Beautiful has some useful information too.)
There is no facility in Cochise County that I am aware of that accepts glass for recycling. (More on that next week.)
