New SARCAN Recycling Depot Opens in Gull Lake
Hey, Gull Lake!! We have great news this Friday! The long-awaited return of our wonderful Gull Lake SARCAN depot is here! Our brand new depot at 439 Main St. (directly across the street from our old location!) is now open, and we couldn't be more excited to recycle with you in this new space! SARCAN has been a part of the Gull Lake community right since we started over 35 years ago in 1988, so we are very happy to bring this new facility to the rockstar recyclers in the area!
