Recycling
 Recycling programs are now an essential part of
the waste removal industry. Our staff at Lakes Disposal take
pride in offering all customers big or small the ability to
recycle all materials accepted by local sorting centers. The
following guide will direct you as to what is accepted material
for recycling.
Even though most items can be recycled, keep in
mind that modern day separation equipment is still evolving and can
only handle certain shapes of materials. Below is a chart of items
now accepted at local recycling facilities.
