Curbside Recycling
By recycling you are helping to save energy, reduce water pollution, reduce
water consumption, preserve natural resources and create jobs.
Your recycling is collected every week on garbage day. There is a charge for
extra recycling that does not fit in your cart with the lid closed.
Recycling is provided at no extra cost with your basic garbage
service.
Recycling Tips
- NO plastic bags in recycling. (Reuse or recycle at
grocery stores) - Plastic bags get caught in conveyor belts at
the recycling center.
- NO shredded paper in recycling. Because of its size,
shredded paper is difficult to sort from other
recyclables.
- NO Glass. Because there is no local remanufacture at this
time, glass is no longer accepted in your curbside recycling
program.
- Empty, clean, and loose. These three words can greatly
improve the quality of recyclables placed in your cart. You can
do this by rinsing out recyclables and placing empty containers
directly in your cart loose, not in a plastic bag. Learn more

- Extra Recycling. If you have extras that do not fit in
your cart with the lid closed, you will be charged per
equivalent 32-gallon bag. Put extra recyclables in a clearly
labeled kraft paper bag, cardboard box or 32-gallon container
with handles and lid. Please label "Recycle". Extra recycling
carts are available at a reduced rate.
