All in One Cart Recycling

Just put all clean recyclables in your blue recycling cart and roll it to the curb on your garbage day every other week when it is full.

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 additional recycling bins, cardboard boxes (limit 2'x2'x2'), or paper bags marked "recycling".

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

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 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?
