Kuhl To Recycle: Hard To Recycle?

The Alliance Center Station Reopens To The Public

It was closed during the pandemic, but The Alliance Center and its station that accepts hard-to-recycle items has re-opened. The Alliance Center is downtown at 1536 Wynkoop St. and its recycle station is open to the general public between 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Monday through Friday.

Here is a snapshot of some unique items they collect: writing utensils, ink cartridges, pet food and treat bags, foil-lined bags and wrappers, hygiene and beauty product containers, water filters, and more.  A comprehensive list of the materials they accept is at thealliancecenter.org.

Financial contributions are strongly encouraged as they have to pay to send these items to recyclers.
