Text Box: Curbside service is not able to pick up paper. Newspaper, office paper, junk mail, and flattened boxes of all kinds may be dropped 24/7 at the Regional Recycling Center, 190 West Industry Drive, Springfield. County residents please drop any of the above materials and paper products at your nearest county recycling collection center. (Map to come) Leftover food and beverage particles in containers attract rodents and insects, making life unpleasant for recycling workers. Thanks for your extra effort to rinse your recyclables! It is fine to leave on their labels.
