Residential Recycling Regulations

We furnish our customers with two recycling bins; one red and one blue. The red bin is to hold glass, plastics and cans, and the blue bin is for newspapers. See our Recycling Guidelines below for specific types of materials that we accept for recycling. We ask that you place your bins curbside after 5:00 PM the night before your scheduled pickup day, or before 6:00 AM on the morning of your scheduled pickup day. To find out your recycling pick up day, click on this color coded map .

For single stream recycling customers, click here for the 2010 recycling collection schedule.

Request a recycling bin.

BLUE:                   

Place ONLY newspaper and brown paper grocery bags in the blue bin

RED                  

Aluminum and steel cans, glass containers (bottles and jars), plastic laundry detergent bottles with a 1 or 2 symbol on the bottom, plastic soda and milk containers, and gable-topped containers (such as juice boxes). Please, NO plastic bags!

Paper and cardboard may be dropped off in the designated bins at one of our five locations.

Place broken glass and other sharp objects in puncture proof disposable containers and put them with your regular trash. Do not place hazardous waste containers in your recycling bins. To see what is considered hazardous waste, please see our section on Household Hazardous Waste.
