RECYCLING (curb it!®)
Recycle Brochure
Garbage - Yard Waste - Appliance

Time Of Collections:		Recycle pickup is automatic, no appointment is necessary. Recycling is picked up on garbage day, bi-weekly (every other week as designated by the orange or yellow colored sticker on your green recycle bin). What day is my pickup?
Prepare recycle bin:		The new blue recycling carts make it easier for you to recycle. We appreciate your help in making it easier for it to be picked up. Here's how you can help. Your cart should be within 18 inches of the curb with the short metal bar facing the street. Do not place the cart near low hanging branches. To avoid damage to public and private property, place the cart at least 7 feet away from mailboxes, lamp posts and other permanent structures. Place your cart on as level a surface as possible. Yard waste bags/carts and other large items should be at least 3 feet away from your recycling cart. Placing the cart in your driveway reduces the likelihood that access to it will be blocked by vehicles, landscaping or snow. Close the lid prior to pick-up to keep recyclables dry and prevent distribution of recyclables by wind. Please see the brochure above for more information.
