It's kept really nice for a refuse type of place. It makes me feel like I'm doing something to help the environment. I feel like I'm helping and we all need to feel that way from time to time! Not going to lie, I do enjoy throwing the glass bottles in and hearing the crash. It's somewhat cathartic. RBRC is open 3 days a week, Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday. Closed on any federal holidays. Each type of recycled element has its own container. Super easy to turn in your recyclables. Here's some tips, they have some of these posted on the recycle containers. Paper and Cardboard: Paper of all sorts is acceptable, including books, flyers, magazines, junk mail, and colored paper. Avoid waxy papers. Cardboard can be recycled as long as it is not saturated with food and grease, as is common with pizza boxes. Remove liners before recycling cereal or other food boxes. Plastic: Most recyclable plastics have the numbers on them, often on the bottom, and one through seven are usually accepted. Many disposable utensils cannot be included, unfortunately, due to the low quality blend of plastics used. If you can easily crumple the plastic, such as with a baggie, do not include it in your recycling bin. Plastic bags are not accepted curbside, but your local grocery store may collect them. Aluminum: In general, all aluminum cans are accepted for recycling. Rinse out liquids, especially sodas and juices, in order to avoid an onslaught of bugs to the area. If you are tight on space, you can crush the cans. Glass: Most glass containers can be recycled. Rinse them prior to placing them in the bin and avoid breaking them. If glass shatters, it can't be recycled since the mixing of different colors can contaminate individual batches. (So crashing good, shattering bad.)

This is a great location for recycling. It's just off of Sequoya Access Road. One of the reasons it…read moreis very convenient is that the location includes a trash dump as well. For about a quarter a bag, you can dump your trash. Then you can take your recycling next "door" and deposit it. The county employee on duty will help you if you are not sure how to sort your items. Before long, you become a pro and will find yourself helping others that need it.

River City Recycling provides an invaluable service. We got tired of having to save up our…read morerecycling and haul it to recycling center in our car every other week.

They close early on Saturdays with no warning or reason.
