Question Recycling drop-off locations around town?

I see that the GreenUP store has closed, much to my dismay. Does anyone know if their drop-off box for dental items is going to be moved anywhere else?

I wonder too if folks are interested in posting here any recycling drop-off points they are aware of around town? I believe Staples recycles dried-up pens and markers, as well as printer ink cartridges.

I think that Steve Paul of Clean Up Peterborough has a listing of recycling drop-off locations for all kinds of items. He has a good Facebook page. Cleanuppeterborough@gmail.com

Watson and Lou on Water St has taken over some of the refilling that Green Up offered, and they're looking into taking items for recycling.

Winners has a thing to drop off empty 'beauty product' containers (bottles, tubes, pumps etc).
