Recycling services are now available for residents of Washington’s downtown district. The bins are located behind the library. Suzanne Ackermann, a resident of downtown, explains that the city council approved the purchase of a recycling bin last May and it just arrived this month.

Ackermann says it helps reduce the amount of garbage going into the landfill. Specifications about what can and cannot be recycled can be found on handouts located in City Hall and are available in multiple languages.
