Satsuma City Hall has recently added a recycling receptacle in the back parking lot. The recycling receptacle is open to the public, and is for paper products only. If your business or household would like to start recycling, please contact Eva Rowe at City Hall at 675-1440 or email her. We would appreciate everyone's help in making our city "a little greener."
