Successful recycling programs in Flagstaff are diverting almost 10,000 tonnes of garbage from the main landfill every year

Flagstaff Waste’s cardboard recycling program has been very successful, keeping this waste from the landfill, and earning $80 per tonne.

Why do you have to sort your load when you go to Flagstaff Waste Management, or any county transfer site?

Because doing so, says Murray Hampshire, Business Manager at Flagstaff Regional Solid Waste Management, can extend the life of our landfill by as much as 15 years.
