Bicycling Recycling

Two ambitious recyclers are starting a curbside pickup business using bicycles, calling it Bicycling Recycling.

They are ready to help people recycle in a completely green way. The charge is $4 a week with a 30 gallon limit or $10 bi-monthly. Pickup will be on Tuesday mornings. Any questions can be answered via email, charlestoncurbside@gmail.com or by phone at 217-345-5618.
