Recycling Facts and News You Can Use!
Did you know that much of what you throw away could be recycled? Recycling turns materials that would otherwise become waste into valuable resources. Collecting used bottles, cans, and newspapers and taking them to the curb or to a collection facility is just the first in a series of steps that generates a host of financial, environmental, and social returns.
Reduce, Reuse, Recycle
Reduce, Reuse, Recycle — Three great ways YOU can eliminate waste and protect your environment!
Waste, and how we choose to handle it, affects our world’s environment—that’s YOUR environment. The environment is everything around you including the air, water, land, plants, and man-made things. And since by now you probably know that you need a healthy environment for your own health and happiness, you can understand why effective waste management is so important to YOU and everyone else. The waste we create has to be carefully controlled to be sure that it does not harm your environment and your health.
You can help by learning about and practicing the three R’s of waste management: Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle! Practicing all three of these activities every day is not only important for a healthy environment, but it can also be fun too.
Many items cannot be recycled by the city, but should not end up in the landfill. Before you throw something away, consider taking the item to an organization or business that can reuse or recycle it. Many household items are easy to recycle.
The City has several recycling drop-off centers where residents can take other recyclables in addition to items collected curbside.
We house an industrial shredder that can shred any paper, dvd, cd, or confidential files. You can view your confidential items being shredded to insure the confidentiality.
Locations of drop-off centers are:

We welcome you to Corbin and invite you to visit often to stay informed about our wonderful city–a city progressive in spirit, yet traditional at heart!
Part of Daniel Boone National Forest, Corbin, Kentucky is the home of Cumberland Falls State Resort Park in Corbin. The mist of the falls creates the only Moonbow in the Western Hemisphere and can be seen at certain times each month during clear weather. Called the “Niagara of the South”, this 125-foot curtain of water drops 60 feet, causing a mist on the boulders in the gorge below.
Cumberland Falls is a hiker’s paradise with 17 miles of hiking trails that wind through the park to scenic areas. The Moonbow Trail connects with many backpacking trails in the Daniel Boone National Forest.
Corbin is also the birthplace of the original Colonel Sanders Cafe and Museum. Listed in the National Register of Historic Places, the museum and dining room serve the traditional Kentucky Fried Chicken foods.
With more navigable miles of water than any other state in the union except Alaska, Kentucky has a veritable wonderland of lakes, creeks, ponds and rivers. With its cliff-lined shores and quiet coves, Laurel River Lake is a favorite destination for thousands of visitors each year. They come to boat, fish, swim, and relax at one of the deepest and cleanest lakes in Kentucky.
The Daniel Boone National Forest features over 600 miles of developed forest trails, including nearly 300 miles of National Recreation Trails. Some trails are easy and fun for families with small children; other paths make great half-day hikes. Trails can lead to a backpacking adventure for a night or much longer.
The Daniel Boone National Forest offers two types of camping opportunities: developed campgrounds and undeveloped or dispersed campsites located throughout the general forest area. These sites are within easy reach of many of the forests’ recreational opportunities.
Thank you for visiting and remember to visit often!
