BOONE—As part of the state’s plastic bottle ban, the Town of Boone is installing a recycling center that will include plastic recycling at the Horn in the West parking lot.

The recycling drop site will operate for two months during the pilot project and provide a convenient location for recyclables from Appalachian State University students and Boone citizens who live in multi-family complexes that do not provide a plastic bottle recycling option.

In addition to plastic bottles, glass, aluminum and steel cans, paper and pasteboard can be recycled at the site.

The recycling center will be conveniently located in the lower parking lot on Horn in the West Drive.
