Recycling Information & Schedule

Recyclables are collected in Leisure Town by the Scouts and taken to the Vacaville City Corp Yard on Allison Dr (between Ulatis & Elmira) where they're sorted. This is normally done on the first Saturday of the month and takes the Scouts about five hours. The hours spent collecting and sorting the recyclables are used to offset the costs associated with the troops outings throughout the year. If a Scout makes it to eight recycling days throughout the year he should work enough hours to pay for Scout Camp. The boys learn at an early age the value of a hard day's work!
