Recycling
Norman opened its first recycling center April 6, 1995. Within four months,
the citizens of Norman had recycled more than 520 tons of trash at three
drop-off stations.
Norman's recycling program shows others that we live in a model community,
preserving valuable resources for a quality environment today and for future
generations.
The City of Norman hopes to reduce our solid waste by 25 percent or more. By
following these basic principles, we can alleviate the pressure on our
landfills:
