Recycling
The Washington County Solid Waste District has implemented a County-wide drop off recycling program. The program provides areas throughout the county where residents can take recyclable materials for collection. The drop off location in Springdale is on Lion Blvd., just past the Town Park. There is a large dirt parking area on the right side of the road. Seven recycling containers, called "Binnies", are located on the side of the parking area.
The following materials can be put into the Binnies for recycling:
Mixed metal, mixed plastic, mixed paper and glass. Please click here for a chart of recyclable materials.
The materials collected will be sold by the District and the money collected will be returned to the various communities to support local projects. The Town Council has directed that money from the recycling program will be used to fund the Zion Canyon Community Trail project.
A complete list of materials, plus a list of other recycling areas in the County may be found at the District website. Please click here to go to the District recycling page.
The District has recently added several cardboard collection sites for recycling corrugated cardboard. The sites are Harmons on 700 South, Albertsons in Washington, Albertsons on Sunset and Lin's Marketplace on Sunset. The District is working on establishing two additional sites, one in Ivins and one location still to be determined. Please click here for a news release on the addition of cardboard recycling to the District recycling program.
The Town of Springdale supports recycling and encourages residents, businesses and visitors to recycle.
