Curbside Recycling
By recycling you are helping to save energy, reduce water pollution, reduce water consumption,
preserve natural resources and create jobs.
Collection Calendar
Recycling collection is included in garbage fees. 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 is provided at no extra cost with your basic garbage service. 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

Extra Recycling. There is no limit on
the amount of clean recyclables you can set out for collection. Put recycling that
doesn't fit in your cart in recycling bins, cardboard boxes (limit 3'x3'x3'), or a
32-gallon can with handles marked "recycling".
