General Information
Please set out recycling carts on alternating weeks with your garbage, the night before your pick up day. Remember to set out when full but manageable. Cart lids must close. Due to alternating week pick up, callbacks must be requested in the same week. Charge applies.
Please Note:
You are responsible for placing the correct materials in your carts. If garbage or incorrect recyclables are found in your gray or brown-lidded carts it is your responsibility to clean out the contamination so that they can be collected as recycling or yard debris.
Cart Placement
Carts must be set at the curb 4 FEET away from other objects, in all directions so they can be safely reached, dumped and returned with the truck's automatic arm. Use the location the driver sets the cart after it has been dumped as a guideline. Please call our office if you have any questions. Please set your carts out the night before your pick up day.
Practice the 3 R's-Reduce Reuse Recycle
TIPS to reduce waste and reuse materials at home and work!
Reduce
Natural resources are used to produce and ship the products we use. Recycling can't prevent this, but reducing the number of items we consume can:
Buy items in bulk or in concentrate, with minimal packaging
Use durable products and avoid disposable items
Request to be removed from junk mailing lists
Proofread documents before printing
Reduce air pollution by carpooling, walking or riding your bike to work
Reuse
Recycling is better than throwing an item away, but still uses energy in shipping, handling and production. A better option is to reuse that item. Do it, and you may be able to reduce the number of items on your shopping list!
Refill washable plastic containers in lunches
Use your own cloth grocery bags
Bring your own refillable water bottle to the gym
Donate reusable items to charity, or have a garage sale
Use misprints for scratch pads or new drafts
Repair broken equipment and household items and practice good maintenance to extend their lifespan
