The Recycle Station, located in New Buffalo Township at the old State Police Post, 1 block south of the intersection at Red Arrow Highway and Route 12 has a new look for the new year. A 2-sided, blue recycle bin with clear recycling instructions is now in place. Recyclers simply drive up to the bin, read the instructions, and deposit their accepted recyclables in to the proper portal on either side of the bin. This Recycle Station is open all year to Berrien County residents. Each Wednesday the recycle bin will be taken away for 1 hour to be emptied. More frequent pick-ups will be scheduled during busier summer months.
