Recycling Services

The following information is being shared in an effort to increase awareness and to ensure City residents are well informed of the City of Wray Recycling Services. In order to provide a high level of service to customers and reduce landfill materials, free grass clipping disposal areas and recycling bins are available.

To determine the number, locate the chasing arrows on the base of the container and reference the number inside the chasing arrows. The numbers refer to different types of plastics used in making plastic c products and containers. There is also a trailer for corrugated cardboard. All boxes must be flattened before they are placed in the trailer.
