Brigham City Senior Center Recycles!

We recycle clean paper products. A bin is placed in our parking lot for recycling newspapers, magazines and other clean paper products. Every month we have approximately 4 tons of paper recycled. Bloom’s donates their time and container and the money gained from the sale of the paper to the Meals on Wheels program that operates out of the Senior Center.

The Mayor’s Advisory Council oversees the recycling of aluminum cans. Many businesses throughout the community participate in this effort. There are also two large recycle containers located at the Center for collection. This effort also benefits Meals on Wheels.

The Senior Center was the first organization in the city to recycle plastics. A local firm uses the recycled plastic in the production of garbage cans that are used throughout communities in the state.

We now recycle old cell phones (working or not) and accessories, plus used ink cartridges. EcoPhones pays the Center so much per cell phone and empty ink cartridge; proceeds benefit Meals On Wheels. Drop them off at the reception desk.

Old hearing aids and old eyeglasses are also accepted at the Senior Center. Hearing aids are recycled for use for those who cannot otherwise afford a hearing device. Please wipe them with alcohol before bringing them in. Eye glasses may also be dropped off at the reception desk. They are sent to organizations helping others in third world countries. Several of our local optomotrist participate in these programs. Just drop off these itemsf at the reception desk.

Help clean up and protect our environment. We participate in helping create a clean environment and continue to protect Mother Earth’s resources.
