What's single stream recycling?
Instead of having to sort your recyclables into separate classes, you just toss them all into this big bin and it gets picked up every other week. It's easier for you and it'll make you feel good because you're doing something to benefit our environment. Because it will reduce the size of your garbage can, it will even save you money! Call Eel River Disposal at 725-5156 to order this service today!
