Curbside Recycling Information

Thank you Leavenworth for partnering with Waste Management on improving your recycling system. We have a new and updated list of accepted recyclables, shown on our new recycling stickers. Due to market limitations we can only recycle paper & cardboard, plastic bottles (#1 & 2 only), and tin & aluminum cans. All of these items should be empty, clean, and dry.

By recycling you are helping to save energy, reduce water pollution, reduce water consumption, preserve natural resources and create jobs.

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.
  
  
• NO plastic bags in recycling. (Reuse or recycle at grocery stores) - Plastic bags get caught in conveyor belts at the recycling center. Do NOT bag recyclables.
  
  
• 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 - Click here.
  
  
• Extra Recycling. If you regularly have extra recycling call and request a second recycling cart for a discounted price.
