Recycling
Recycling is collected on one of your regular garbage days. Recyclables should be placed at the curb on the day of collection by 7 a.m.
A separate truck collects the recyclables. Recyclables such as aluminum or steel cans, plastic bottles, and glass bottles or jars should be placed in 18-gallon green recycling bins or blue bags. Bins may be used for all recyclables. However, brown paper sacks may still be used for paper items such as newspapers, magazines, phone books, junk mail, and flattened cardboard boxes.
