Curbside Recycling By recycling you are helping to save energy, reduce water pollution, reduce
water consumption, preserve natural resources and create jobs.
Collection Calendar
Your recycling is collected every other week on garbage day, Thursday.
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 old recycling
bin or cardboard boxes (limit 3'x3'x3').
Collection Rates
Recycling is provided at no extra cost with your basic garbage
service. Recycling and preventing waste can sometimes reduce
garbage enough for residents to order a smaller garbage container
for a lower rate.
Recycling Tips
- 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
plastic bags may be mistaken for garbage at the sorting
center.
- NO plastic bags in recycling. (Reuse or recycle at grocery
stores) - Plastic bags get caught in conveyor belts
at the recycling center.
- NO shredded paper in
recycling. Because of its size, shredded
paper is difficult to sort from other
recyclables.
- Empty,
clean, and loose. These three words can
greatly improve the quality of recyclables
placed in your cart. You can do this by rinsing
out recyclables and placing empty containers
directly in your cart loose, not in a plastic
bag. Learn more about how you can Recycle Right
