Curbside Recycling
Set your recycling cart and bin out at the curb by 6:00 a.m. on your regular recycling day.
Recycling Guidelines and How to Sort Materials
Sorting your recycling is easy! The materials remain the same, but the way your sort them has changed. The new sorting system allows drivers to pick up materials more efficiently, helps keep costs down, and reduces the amount of useful materials going to the landfill as garbage.
