| Sort recyclables into 2 types of materials: Put all paper, plastic, metal and glass together in the same container(s). Yard waste should be bundled, bagged or put in containers marked with an “X”
- Use a yellow container or any type of reusable and durable container that works best for you, marked with a large "X" visible to the collection crew - The "X" lets the collection crew know it’s recycling.
- Recycle every week so your recycling containers won’t be too heavy for you or the collectors (no more than 40 lbs. each.)
- Use containers that one person can lift from the curb to the recycling truck
If you choose to use plastic bags, use a clear bag so that the haulers can see that there are recyclables inside There is no limit on the amount of recyclables you can put out for collection.
- Keep your yard and street clean by securing papers and plastic bottles in their containers so they won’t blow around before the recycling truck arrives.
- If paper gets wet, it’s okay - We can still recycle it.
- When recycling shredded paper, put in a paper bag and staple shut. Include it with your other recycling on your collection day.
