I checked the website before driving 20 minutes to be sure they were accepting brush. Of course when I arrived they were not. Call first (assuming their ability to answer the phone is better than their ability to make a small update to the website).

Now that they shut down all the remote recycling stations not going to drive 55 miles round trip to take it to the one on 46. Land fills are going to have more trash. We only have 1 kitchen trash bag a week to go in trash cans. We buy gallon bottles of water so there are a lot to recycle.
