Ablitt’s Recycle

Thank you for considering recycling your film plastic with Ablitt’s Planet Protector program!

We look forward to seeing you! You will only receive a reply if the event is full.

All events are held outside, behind the Ablitt’s Fine Cleaners building. And currently, masks are required. Please park on the street, or in the city lot across the street from Ablitt’s when you come to the events. You will see our event sign when you arrive which will direct you to the event.
