Go Green

In August 2008 Community Link began its “Go Green” campaign with the opening of a drop off center for the recycling of cardboard, aluminum, paper and plastic. Since then Community Link has expanded its efforts to include curbside service in Breese and business pick-up in Clinton County and surrounding area. This effort currently employs 11 people with disabilities.

Items accepted are cardboard, paper, newspaper, aluminum, plastic and books. Download the list (115KB PDF) of acceptable recyclables.
