Measure #50: Government nontraditional recycling program - The City of Milton has collection containers at Community Development entrance "F" for recycling copier toner, ink cartridges, batteries, and cell phones. Electronics are recycled at the bulky trash and recycling community events sponsored twice a year by the city.
