Quick Links by Material

Clicking the links below will take you to pages with more in-depth information for material handling and best practices.

For example, Cars, Trucks and their parts all have different handling recommendations depending on if they work or not. If the vehicle is inoperable and now best considered scrap metal, it gets handled differently than a vehicle that could still meet all regulations for operating safely on the road. Being able to learn the difference is one of the reasons this recycling portal section. Enjoy!
