For the convenience of our residents, the Town of Pacolet does contract with Reworks Recycling for the collection of recyclable materials. Blue recycling bins are provided in front of the white building, located at 141 Coleman Circle, at the corner of Sunset and Coleman Circle, next to the T.W. Edwards Center, for the collection of recyclable materials (excluding glass). Material does not need to be sorted but just placed inside one of the blue bins for weekly pick-up. Please DO NOT deposit garbage or glass materials inside these bins.
