GO GREEN WITH SINGLE STREAM.......
RECYCLING JUST GOT A LITTLE EASIER

All recyclables will now go into your new 64-gallon, green lid, recycling cart.

ALL REYCLING WILL NOW BE COLLECTED WITH AUTOMATED TRUCKS.  THE FOLLOWING ITEMS ARE IMPORTANT FOR THE SUCCESS OF THE SINGLE STREAM PROGAM.

  • Place recycling cart out the night prior to your scheduled collection day.

  • Place recycling cart at least 4 feet away from trashcart.  Be sure all carts are at lest 4 feet away from mailboxes, basketball hoops, telephone poles and parked cars.  We suggest placing the trash cart on one side of your driveway and the recycling cart on the opposite side.

  • Please place your recycle cart out only when full or near full.  Dumping carts with small amounts of recyclables wastes fuel and other natural resources.

  • Your old recycle bin is yours to keep.  Do not place it at the curb because our automated trucks cannot dump it.  If you wish to dispose of the bin simply place it inside your new recycling cart and it will be recycled.

  • Please cut up large cardboard boxes and place them inside your new recycling cart.  DO NOT leave cardboard under or near the recycling cart.





Below is an expandable list of recyclable items.  For additional information or questions feel free to contact us at 439-3376.  Our office staff will be happy to help you.  Our office hours are Monday thru Friday 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.
