Items to Recycle:
RECYCLING COLLECTION
The Recycling cart may be placed in front of your residence every other week for collection.
Placement of all carts at the curb is essential to ensure collection by automated trucks. Place your carts on either side of your driveway, 12" from the curbside so water can flow freely along the gutter at the edge of the curb.
Allow a minimum of three (3) feet clearance on all sides of the carts from objects such as trees, fences, mailboxes, streetlights, and other carts. Carts must be a minimum of six (6) feet from any vehicles. Keep sidewalk clear for pedestrian passage.
