Martel Recycling Center | Sep 15, 2020

Hi, fellow sushi lover! I took your question to our hazardous waste team. We believe substances such as these oils created for topical use, would be included in household garbage due to their safe-for-skin compounds. However, we will also accept them at the Baseline Transfer Station's household hazardous waste section. If you have any further questions, please contact our office at 352-671-8465.

Will Martel take old landscape concrete edging

Lynette Gray | Aug 16, 2022
Martel Recycling Center | Aug 16, 2022

That's a tricky one. The basic guideline is as follows: "Limit of two 90-gallon containers of garbage per day." If the edging fits into two of these containers or less, then the edging can be disposed of as if household garbage. However, if the quantity is more than two 90-gallon containers, the edging would need to be brought across the scales at the Baseline Transfer Station. I suggest you contact our office at 352-671-8465 for more information. https://environmental.marionfl.org/solid-waste/customer-service/materials-accepted-at-recycling-centers
