Become a Hub Club member!
Divert hundreds of hard-to-recycle household items from the landfill at our residential drop-offs.
We are still the same Hub you know and love and we are accepting all of the same hard-to-recycle materials that you're used to. But, beginning January 1st, we will be charging for recycling of general items such as plastics. Our new Hub Club memberships and related fees will provide us with financial stability to serve our growing community.
