Curbside Recycling
By recycling you are helping to save energy, reduce water pollution, reduce water consumption,
preserve natural resources and create jobs.
Collection Calendar
Your recycling is collected every other week on garbage day. 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'.)
Collection Rates
Recycling and preventing waste can sometimes reduce garbage enough for residents to order a
smaller garbage container for a lower rate.
Recycling Tips
- 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 plastic bags may be mistaken for garbage at the sorting
center.
- 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.
-
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 about how you can Recycle Right - Click here.
Extra Recycling
- Extra recycling may be set out for an additional charge. The charge applies
per 32-gallon can or box.
- Put extra recycling in cardboard boxes (limit 3'x3'x3'), or a 32-gallon can
with handles marked "recycling".
- Please don't leave any extra recyclables in cardboard boxes out in the rain.
Place next to your cart on the morning of your collection day.
