Curbside Recycling
Recycling reduces garbage, and is provided at no extra cost with your basic garbage service.
Recycling, food and yard waste collection, and preventing waste may reduce garbage enough for residents to order a smaller garbage container for a lower rate.
Important Recycling Reminders:
 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 plastic bags in recycling. (Reuse or recycle them at grocery stores) - Plastic Recycling Yes & No
NO shredded paper in recycling. Shredded paper has minimal fiber value and is very difficult to separate from other recyclables.
Extra Recyclables: Put recyclables that don't fit in your cart in recycling bins, cardboard boxes (limit 2'x2'x2'), or a 32-gal. can with handles marked "recycling".

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?
