Keeping it green since '92!

Special Events


Spring Clean Up Day
Once a year, we offer a a Spring Clean Up Day. During this time, Marshall County property owners can bring items that we normally don't accept, such as lumber, vinyl, siding, shingles and other building materials. Please call our facility if you are unsure about your item. Contractors are not allowed to participate.

Trash Sculpture Contest
Recycling doesn't have to be just separating newspaper from aluminum cans. You can be creative as well. Coordinating with local art teachers, the Marshall County Recycling center sponsors a Trash Sculpture Contest each year for elementary school children.

Participants are challenged to use items would normally be discarded and turn it into works of art. Entries are divided into two different age groups (K-2nd grade, 3rd grade-5th grade). Each age group is awarded prizes for 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place. Winners will have their sculptures put on display at the Marshall County Library and the Marshall County Courthouse!
