Beginning January 1, 2025 all town residents utilizing the recycling center will be charged a user fee. Town residents bringing items to the recycling center such as solid waste for the compactor, co-mingled recyclables, cardboard, paper, waste oil, metal, grass clippings, and brush will not be charged any additional fees. Yellow bags will no longer be sold.
All town residents utilizing the Recycling Center will be required to purchase a yearly user fee tag. All town residents will be required to display the tag on the rearview mirror of their vehicle when entering the facility. Tags will be issued based on the resident’s fire number and cannot be shared or used by any other town resident and/or non-town resident. Additional tags and replacement tags will be sold to anyone wishing to have one for a second vehicle from the same residence or if a tag is lost.
The recycling center tags will be $100.00/tag and will be valid for one fiscal year.
A second tag for a second vehicle at the same residence will be $40.00/tag. A lost or misplaced tag may be purchased for $25.00/tag.
The recycling center tags will contain the following personal information. Residents fire number, residents last name, vehicle license number, and date issued. A single tag may be moved from one vehicle to a second vehicle at the same residence if the second vehicles license number is also listed on the tag. Tags will be color coded each year so center workers can easily identify the tag based on the current year. The pre-printed tags contain the following information; Town of Schleswig Recycling Center, the current year, a tag ID number, and on the reverse side a brief statement concerning proper use of the tag by a town resident only, a tag replacement cost, a town phone number. Anyone found to have allowed their tag to be used by a non-resident of the township may lose their privilege to use the recycling center for a specified period of time.
