Cardboard cannot be collected curbside. You can drop it off at the Edmond Recycling Center located at 20 West Third Street in Edmond (just west of Broadway and North of Second Street). They are now accepting regular as well as corrugated cardboard. For those of you living in apartments who do not have recycling, you can also drop off the rest of your recyclable items here (see list of items at above website). They are open Saturdays from 10 am - 2 pm.
Have you noticed those big yellow and green bins around town? They are called "paper retrievers." You can deposit your paper, magazines, catalogs, newspapers, and mail in them. Call 232-7100 to locate a bin near you. For more information, go to:
