The City of Douglas Recycling program is now offering their commercial customers recycling carts. Commercial customers can call the City of Douglas Customer Service Department at 389-3499 and request the carts to be delivered to their place of business.
“In the past, commercial customers could request a recycling dumpster,” says Charlie Davis, Assistant City Manager. “Now we can offer our commercial customers a recycling cart if their business does not need a dumpster.”
Commercial recycling carts will be emptied on a weekly basis. Items that can be recycled are plastic milk jugs, plastic soda and water bottles, laundry soap jugs, aluminum cans, tin & steel cans, cardboard boxes, newspaper, junk mail, magazines, catalogs, phone books, office paper, and food boxes. No sorting is required by the business. Recycling drop off centers are conveniently located at the Public Works Department behind City Hall, at Fire Station #1 on Gordon Street, and at the Southside Fire Station near the Airport .
To request a recycling cart for your business, please call the Customer Service Department (912) 389-3499. For more information about the recycling program, please call the Public Works Department at (912) 389-3450.
