There are 3 Dumpsters located on the West Entrance of our HOA (the closest entrance to Durango). Two of these are dedicated to Recycling while the other bin is solely for garbage.
REMINDER
Do NOT put plastic bags or glass in the Recycling bins. Also, batteries, light bulbs, furniture, landscape materials, appliances, construction debris and other like items should not be placed in the Garbage OR Recycle bins. When placing recyclables into the bin(s), please break down all cardboard boxes and lie them flat as far away from the bin door as you can.
