FAQs

What day is scheduled for recycling pickup?

Friday mornings. Please make sure your recycling is secured in lidded cans or bins.

What materials can I recycle?

Plastic bottles and jugs, metal food and beverage cans, cartons, mixed paper, and cardboard. Keep them loose, clean, and dry – never in plastic bags. Placing unaccepted material or wet, dirty, sticky items in the bin reduces the recyclability of other material. You may leave lids and labels on containers. If you are unsure if something is recyclable in the bin, remember, “When in doubt, throw it out”. To avoid creating litter, use a lidded container.
