Waste Reduction & Recycling

PERRY COUNTY WASTE REDUCTION & RECYCLING

The mission of this program is to improve the overall understanding of reducing the amount of waste we generate in our community. We strive to encourage the REDUCE~REUSE~RECYCLE ethic including composting, as well as litter prevention!

We always encourage & support community clean-up events!

PLEASE NOTE: Somerset Curbside Service has different allowances than our County-wide recycling service sites.
