It's Earth Day - Let's Recycle in Seymour Indiana with a FREE Bin!



Happy Earth Day! If you haven't done so, make today the day you go pick up a recycling bin for use in Seymour Indiana. Your recycling will be picked up at the curb on the same day that your trash is picked up. All recycling bins are to be placed on the curb, not in the alleys. A free bin may be obtained at the department of Public Works, located at 1100 E. 4th Street, or at City Hall downtown. You can call 812-524-1100 for more program information or keep reading.


Here is more information from our Seymour city website.


Recycle:
Seymour residents are strongly encouraged to participate in Seymour’s FREE curbside recycling program by calling 524-1100.  At no cost, you will receive a blue and a green recycling bin, along with information on the program. Items accepted include: plastics 1 & 2 bottles only, tin cans, kitchen glass, aluminum cans, which should be placed in the blue bin, and newspaper, clean pizza boxes, mail, magazines, office paper, and hard and soft back books, which should be placed in the green bin.  Please place your bins at curbside, no alley pickups, by 7:00 a.m. on the day of your trash pickup. Large amounts of clean and broken down corrugated cardboard can be dropped off or called in for special pickup.



Pick up your Recycling Bin today Seymour! It's easy, free, and good to the Earth. ;0)


Also, for another way to get in the recycling spirit, here is some info about the Seymour Chamber of Commerce Tour de Sox


Tour de Sox

(formerly known as Ride-to-Recycle Bike Ride)

Cost: $20 (pre-register), $25 (day of event)


For over fifteen years the Chamber’s Recycling Committee has hosted this annual major bicycle ride.  The ride consists of choices of 25, 50, 75 or 100 mile routes through Jackson and Bartholomew counties.  Dressing rooms, showers, SAG stops along the routes, bicycle maintenance and entertainment, food and massages at the end make this a fun annual event.  Proceeds from the event are used to fund recycling grants by the committee to organizations in Jackson County.
