Free Recycling Weekend in Washington

Texas Parks and Wildlife in cooperation with the City of Brenham and Washington County, will host a recycling trailer available for use by area residents and park staff.  The ten-bin trailer will arrive on Fridays and then be picked up early Monday mornings, the second weekend of each month in 2013.
 
Items accepted at the recycling trailer include:
Bin 1)     Cardboard only
Bin 2)     Cardboard only
Bin 3)     Newspaper only
Bin 4)     Mixed Paper – Phone books, magazines, office paper and junk mail
Bin 5)     # 2 Plastic – No cartons or plastic bags – bottles and jugs only
Bin 6)     Aluminum Cans Only, Beverage Cans Only – No aluminum pet cans or foil products
Bin 7)     #1 Clear Plastic – No cartons or plastic bags – bottles and jugs only
Bin 8)     Brown Glass only
Bin 9)     Clear Glass only
Bin 10) Metal & Tin only
 
At this time the plan is for the trailer to be located on park property just outside the fence line.  After a couple months of usage, the location may be reevaluated based on usage patterns and volumes collected.
  
The TPWD Recycling & Sustainability Program recognizes the fact that Field operations (those located away from Austin HQ or the Regional offices) present special challenges for recycling, especially those in rural areas.  Washington-on-the-Brazos State park staff appreciates that the City of Brenham Recycling Center and Washington County have agreed to work in conjunction with the Park to bring this recycling opportunity to the park and local residents.
