Recycling

Crossroads of Western Iowa believes in recycling. We believe the future of our nation, our world is becoming bound with our living more responsibly. Our ‘throw-away’ society needs to be a thing of the past. 
Recycling can be done in many different ways, but the outcome is the same, namely the re-use of items we would normally discard. Although efforts to move toward recycling have been made, it remains a distant reality in many areas. Crossroads strives to increase the general public’s awareness of the necessity for recycling, and to increase their cooperation as we strive to meet the State of Iowa’s mandatory 50% recycling goal. 
In Missouri Valley, Iowa Crossroads has begun recycling efforts by collecting and bailing products such as:

• Newspaper
• OCC (old corrugated cardboard)
• Magazines
• Office paper and all recyclable paper type fiber products
• Tin cans
• Aluminum cans
• PET & HDPE Plastics
• Paper shredding
