Curbside Recycling
Curbside recycling is also available for residents of the City of Adrian.  It is co-mingled recycling, so you do not need to sort your recyclable items and all recyclables go in the Stevens Disposal supplied 96 gallon cart.  Items should be loose and not bagged. Recycling is picked up every other week on Tuesdays.
