That day marks the beginning or a long and interesting journey that brings us on 4-2022 to the 32th Anniversary of Dodd's Recycling,

Everyone one that has joined in the effort we Thank You!!!!

For those that haven't taken those steps yet-- it can't get much easier-- two containers side by side creates a split second decision of where to drop your waste-a decision that will impact our environment for decades.
