At home, at work or somewhere in between, recycled materials are present in almost everything we use. Recycled material is so common, we easily forget that recycling is a conscious decision, a choice we make based on a variety of factors.

The Solid Waste division will gladly help you on how to reduce your waste while helping to create a cleaner environment for all of us.EmptyPizzaBoxes

 There is no limit on how many recyclables you can set out each week. Recyclable material must be placed in the provided or approved containers.  Containers are free and can be requested by calling your hauler or the Solid Waste Division.   
  • Bins or Toters must be placed at the curb by 6:30 am on the collection day.

  • Glass, plastic, steel, and aluminum are placed in the recycling container.  Paper products must be placed in either a second blue bin or paper bag. Residents using 64 gallon Toters  need to put the material in the labeled  side of the container.

  • Bins and Toters must be placed no more than six feet from the roadside.

  • Bins and Toters must not be placed out more than 24 hours before scheduled pick up time, and the empty bins must be removed within 48 hours after pick up.

  • Violation of the above rule can result in a warning for the first offense and a fine for each subsequent violation.

  • Only paper bags can be used as a substitute for a recycling bin or Toter.

 Please note that cardboard needs to be flattened so it does not exceed 4 ft x 6 ft x 6 inch in size !
