Green Pages

Green Pages provides information on various aspects of recycling and waste. It is the perfect reference to have on hand when you are looking for the correct way to dispose of Household Chemical Waste or need information on your local Recycling Center.

Help us spread the word! If you run across a new recycling source or learn about a change in the information we have provided, SWANCC staff would appreciate it if you would email the information to info@swancc.org. Thanks for your help!


There are online avenues to divert materials from the waste stream, such as freecycle.org, craigslist.org and ebay.com that can be used to post items to be purchased or picked up for free.
