Why Recycle?
In addition to helping the environment recycling provides opportunities for your business and residents to save money. Save money by reducing the size or service level for garbage through increasing the amount you recycle. The cost for disposal service in Windsor is based on the level of garbage service. By recycling more you can request a smaller garbage container/bin or decrease the frequency for commercial accounts!
