Plastic Recycling Dumpster
  • Trash to Treasure now accepts plastics #4-7 in our plastic recycling dumpser.
  • Please recycle your #1-3 in your curbside recycling bin. Our dumpster fills up quick so we like to conserve the space for plastics that can not be recycled at the curb.
  • We have partnered with a recycled plastic pallets manufacturer who uses our materials. The plastic pallets last longer than wood, use a recycled material, and weight less which means a smaller carbon footprint for shipping materials!
  • Drop off your rigid plastics #4-7 during business hours or anytime in the dumpster in front of our warehouse.
  • No plastic bags - please bring these back to the grocery store
  • No styrofoam - please bring styrofoam to Edge Logistics
  • No plastic film - only rigid plastics please.
Paper Recycling Dumpster
  • We also have a dumpster in front of the warehouse for recycling cardboard and paper only.
  • Please break down the boxes before putting them in the dumpster.
Things we DO NOT accept:
• Large Items - we are a small organization with limited space in our warehouse. If you have large items please call us first to see if we can accept them or if we can help you find another appropiate home for your donation. 
• Plastic Bags - please take these to a grocery store to be recycled unless you have colorful ones. We like to use the colorful bags for crochet. 
• Furniture - we do not accept anything that a thrift store will accept. We are trying to fill the recycling void. We sometimes accept shelving though for use to display items in our warehouse. Please call and ask before bringing.Click HERE for a list of local thrift stores that accept furniture.
• Electronics - Please take your electronic waste to thehazardous waste drop off. Click here for locations
