Those who are serious about recycling have ample opportunities, according Osage Beach Public Works Director Rick King.

King recently compiled a list of recyclers that take everything from Christmas trees to cars. That list, a portion of which is included below, is available at the Osage Beach City Hall.

“We had been gathering information on recyclers for years but had never looked at what was available in our surrounding communities,” King said. “When I started looking into it, tracking down different companies that we heard about thru word of mouth and through talking with other recyclers, I was shocked at just how many there actually are.”
