• The Recycling Facility located at the Tuscarora State Forest Bureau of Forestry is maintained and operated by the DCNR Rangers. This facility has three bins that are rotated to Sylvester Recycling. The normal operation is to have one open bin while a second remains locked. The third bin remains at Sylvester to allow for a more efficient replacement process. Volunteers or the Rangers check the bins to switch the locks when the open bin gets full. At that time, Sylvester is contacted to pick up the full bin and replace it with an empty.

• The facility accepts:
  Plastic Containers (#1-#7 - Kitchen, Laundry, Bath bottles
  Paper - Mixed Paper, Newspaper, Junk Mail, Magazines, Composite cans and Flattened Cardboard
  Cans - Steel, Aluminum (and Aluminum Foil)
  Glass - Glass Bottles and Jars
  
  It should be noted that Styrofoam, Glass Cups, Pyrex, Ceramics and Window Glass are not accepted.

• The facility also has an Aluminum recycling cage. Aluminum cans, foil and other products can be placed inside this cage. Volunteers sort the aluminum and carry it Bulldog Recycling (Shermansdale). Any earnings go into the Tuscarora Conservation Assistance Fund which is used for various conservation projects within the Tuscarora State Forest. This facility is open to anyone who would like to recycle their aluminum.

• What can you do to help the facility?
  Please don't place garbage, furniture, or refuse in or around the bins. Crush your plasic bottles and aluminum cans. Flatten your boxes. Empty your bags and do not include them in your recycling.
  Finally, we are always looking for volunteers who are willing to help the recycling program.
