NEW Blue Cart is now used for
ALL RECYCLABLES
including cardboard
|
Recycling is now easier than ever.
The BLUE CART is the place for ALL of your recyclables. You don't need to separate paper from plastic, glass, metal, etc. Place everything recyclable in the Blue Cart including cardboard.
On collection day, roll your Blue Cart to the pavement edge with the handle facing away from the street. Keep at least 4 feet from cars, light poles, mail boxes etc.
If you prefer, we can pick up your cart for you. If you'd like to sign-up for this optional service ($4.72 per month), please complete the online WALK-IN Collection of Recycling Cart form.
We collect your commingled recyclables with clean-burning CNG-powered vehicles and transport the recyclables to a Materials Recovery Facility where they are separated by commodity.
Finally, the commodities are shipped off to be processed into new products.

When does Recycling Collection Take Place?
Recycling Pickup takes place at the same time as Household Waste.
Residents are asked to separate their recyclables from other non-recyclable waste and set out for "once-a-week" collection. Simply place your recyclables in the blue recycle cart provided and place at the curb by 6:00 am on your collection day.
Recycling Containers
First cart is provided Free of Charge. Second cart is available for an additional fee.
To get more information, simply call our "Recycle Hotline" 327-SAVE.
