​Please read for important updates:
Starting in January 2020, only the following types of materials will be accepted at the community drop-off bins: paper products, metal cans, and plastics #1, 2, & 3. We are stopping the collection of any kind of glass or plastics #4-7. We understand that some popular items like six-pack rings, yogurt containers, and squeeze bottles fall into the plastics #4-7 but the reality is there is no market for those items at the moment. We want to collect items that will actually be recycled into new material!
  • ​​This does not affect your local curbside pick up, it is ONLY for the use of our community drop-off bins. As always check with your curbside provider and follow their guidelines for anything you recycling in curbside bins.
  • Want to make sure your items get recycled? Rinse them out!! There's no sense in recycling items that still have food and sauces stuck to the inside of them because they will end up in the landfill. A green bean or two left will fall out, but if you can make half a sandwich from the peanut butter in the jar, it's going to get thrown away for sure.
  • NO. PLASTIC. BAGS. Please do not place plastic bags of any kind (shopping bags, ziploc bags, bread bags, salt bags, pet food bags, produce bags, trash bags, etc) into our community drop-off bins. We do not recycle them in our program! Plastic film type bags can go back to grocery stores. Keep this in mind as an item not to bring along with no plastic #4-7 and any glass material.
