YOUNGSTOWN - The most wonderful time of the year is probably the busiest time of the year for recyclers, including the Mahoning County Solid Waste District's Green Team.

Recycling sites are becoming a holiday destination for people getting rid of the boxes shipped to their homes by Amazon and other online retailers. 

In addition, wrapping paper and tissue from holiday gifts need more space in those recycling bins.

To avoid overflowing those bins this season, the Green Team has placed roll-off bins at eight of the county's recycling sites with space for the larger containers.

The bins will be in place the week before and the week after Christmas.
