Curbside Recycling
Recycling reduces garbage, and is provided at no extra cost with your basic garbage service.
No Charge for Extra Recyclables! There is no limit on the amount of clean recycling you can set out for collection. Put recycling that doesn’t fit in your cart in old recycling bin or cardboard boxes (limit 3’x3’x3’.)
Recycling and preventing waste can sometimes reduce garbage enough for residents to order a smaller garbage container for a lower rate.
Recycling is collected every week on the same day as garbage. Please put your recycling out by 7:00 a.m.
Important!
 Empty clean recyclables out of bags and boxes and put them loose in your cart so that they can be easily identified and sorted at the recycling center. Clean paper bags and cardboard boxes are recyclable. Just put them in your cart after you empty them. Recyclables in bags may be mistaken for garbage at the sorting center.
NO plastic bags in recycling. (Reuse or recycle at grocery stores) - Plastic Recycling Yes & No
NO shredded paper in recycling. Paper mills don't want shredded paper and shredded paper is difficult to sort from other recyclables. More

Waste Prevention Is Even Better Than Recycling!
Before you buy, use or discard an item, ask yourself:
Reduce: Can I buy this product with less packaging?
Reuse: Can I or someone else use this again?
Recycle: Can I recycle this after I use it?
Buy Recycled: Can I get this item with recycled content?
