Southeast Community Organization is a community of people who recycle.
Curbside or alley pick up every WEDNESDAY morning makes it easy for you to recycle too! Items do not need to be sorted. You can recycle paper and cardboard, pizza boxes, cartons, bottles and cans — including glass, aluminum, plastic bottles and containers, and paper milk and juice cartons.
You can recycle a variety of plastics but NOT styrofoam, black plastic, plastic film (bags), or any #3 or #6 plastic. Plastic bags can be returned to grocery and Target stores. Better yet: bring a reusable bag with you.
All households received a 64-gallon cart at the start of the program. If you would like to try a smaller (32-gallon) or larger (95-gallon) cart you may request a switch by calling Eureka Recycling at 651-222-7678. One change will be allowed at no charge.
Renters: SouthEast Community Organization has free recycling bags for tenants in apartments. Interested in getting one? Stop by our office to pick one up at the Sun Ray Shopping Center. Please call or email to make sure we are open.
