Eldorado/285 Recycles is hosting our 2nd Styrofoam® Collection Event.
From holiday gifts to home projects and medical shipments, Styrofoam® piles up fast. Instead of tossing it, bring it to us for responsible recycling.
Let’s keep this troublesome material out of the landfill.
Even if you don’t have foam to recycle, help spread the word to friends and neighbors. Together, we can make a difference.

The City, County and Eldorado/285 Recycles want to encourage you to turn food waste into a valuable soil amendment. If you live in the Eldorado/285 corridor, contact Eldorado/285 Recycles for information. We can explain this great concept and, if you are convinced, we can even install a compost system on your property. Contact Chris Harrell, clharrell505@gmail.com.

In the fall of 2020, a committee of five Eldorado/285 Recycles members formed a Plastics Pollution committee to initiate a project to address the growing crisis of plastic in our local community, our country, and the world. We have now become Beyond Plastics Santa Fe, a project of Eldorado/285 Recycles. Follow our progress here: https://beyondplasticssfe.weebly.com
