Recycling reduces garbage, and is provided at no extra cost with your basic garbage service.
Recycling is collected every week on the same day as garbage.
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.
Extra Recyclables:
There is no limit on the amount of clean recyclables accepted. Put recyclables that don't fit in your cart in plastic recycling bins or cardboard boxes (limit 3’x3’x3’). If you often have extra recyclables, you can order a second recycling cart.
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?
