| DUMPING
AND RECYCLING |
One day my wife said to me, "we should start recycling our trash instead of putting it in that secret hole in the ground in the lower forty. " I responded, "that's silly, there is only two of us and we don't use enough stuff to recycle." I guess I told her! Boy was I wrong. My mind is blown at the amount of stuff and things we are able to recycle that we used to put in the hole.
Here are some of the places and times that you can dump and recycle your stuff in Boonville and Ukiah.
Check out the Boonville transfer station. Located about a mile up Mountain View Road from Highway 128. It ain't cheap, but if you play you gota pay. It's better than leaving it along side the road.
