Please refrain from illegal dumping at the Recycle Saline office. We understand it is cardboard, but this is still considered the incorrect way of disposal. Proper owners of the illegal dump will be notified, and corrective action will be taken.

Recycle Center will remain closed today. There is still quite a bit of ice in the parking lot. We've tried to clear as much as we could but it's still very icy. We might be able to open this afternoon. We'll post here if we open. We are sorry for the inconvenience, but the safety of our recyclers is the most important.
