Mercer County recycling buckets are now available for free

The Mercer County Improvement Authority announced on Wednesday (March 6) that they are making recycling buckets available for free to anyone who may need an extra bucket or need a replacement.

The reason for offering the buckets for free is to cut down on injuries sustained by the recycling collectors.

If your recycling bucket is old, broken, cracked, or has any sharp edges it can be dangerous to the contracted recycling collectors.

All recycling must be placed in official Mercer County recycling buckets
