Number Plates To Be Recycled

The city Recycling Office wants residents to recycle old license plates as new ones are issued this year by the state.

The aluminum plates can be recycled with aluminum cans at any city drop-off site; tossed into curbside recycling containers; or taken to a recycling buy-back center.

“If citizens don’t want their old plates for memorabilia, we hope they’ll recycle them instead of sending them to the landfill,” said Gene Hanlon, city recycling coordinator. “It’s also a good idea to cut them in half with tin snips to prevent theft.”
