Recycling
At Spruce Grove Marina we support and encourage proper recycling of trash. It is important to remember that the recycling laws vary from state to state and even county to county. To help our customers know what the recycling laws are for our area, we have complied a list of acceptable recyclable materials. If there is something that is not on this list that you have a question about, please ask a staff member for clarification.
Please note that all recyclable materials, except cardboard, must be put in clear or white plastic bags before being placed in the recyclable bins. This is at the request of the waste management company that picks up our trash to make sure all the bins are properly emptied.
Also note that televisions, computer monitors, electronics (stereo equipment, DVD players, etc.) are not to be placed in the trash dumpster. Please set them beside the dumpster for proper handling.
