2013 Monthly Report

The City of North Augusta Blue Bag Recycling Program is recognized as one of the best recycling programs in the state. Every three months, one package of Blue Bags is delivered to each residential sanitation customer at no charge. The package contains enough Blue Bags for a typical family to fill one bag per week with recyclables. The City also recycles used tires, various petroleum products and electronics.             In 2012, the City of North Augusta processed 11,706 tons of commingled material through residential curbside recycling, commercial business recycling and event recycling. This would not have been possible without community support.
