Guidelines for Glenwood's Drop off Recycling Program
Located at the City ballpark on South Vine Street
Your cooperation in following these simple guidelines is appreciated. The recycling center is not a landfill and should not be treated like one. Anyone caught disposing of anything other than the items listed is subject to a fine! A monthly charge of $1.25 per household appears on all resident's water bills who live within the city limits of Glenwood to subsidize this program.
Do not mix recycled items, keep each item separated and placed in the correct bin, shed or trailer.
