Toilet recycling

Ever wonder what to do with a toilet when it's past its prime?

A large pile of broken toilets to be recycled. The Rocky Mountains are visible on the horizon in the background. The sky is blue and cloudless.We recycle toilets by crushing them and using them as road base – saving environmental resources, reducing waste to landfills and avoiding costs for new aggregate. It also reduces disposal costs for residents and helps promote a more sustainable community.

The following facilities accept toilets, sinks, ceramics and other porcelain.
