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 other week on garbage day.

Recycling and preventing waste can sometimes reduce garbage enough for residents to order a smaller garbage container for a lower rate.

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. Set out extra recyclables, next to your cart in cardboard box or 32-gallon container with handles labeled "Recycle". Do not place recyclables in plastic bags. There is a charge for extra 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.
