RECYCLE AUBURN: We're excited to announce that single-stream recycling will begin on Monday, Dec. 4, allowing Auburn residents to resume recycling plastics! The single-stream program will start with 5,600 residents, but that's just the beginning. We're working to expand the program to all interested customers as quickly as funding allows. If you were not included in the first phase, you can recycle through the sorted curbside program for cans, paper and plastics. ALL customers may also recycle plastics and other materials at the Recycling Drop-Off Center at 365-A N. Donahue Drive.
