Frequently Asked Questions

What goes in the recycling bin (blue bin)?

A recycling bin (provided by the city) for containers (glass/metal/plastic) and mixed paper must be used.

The containers (glass/metal/ #1 & # 2 plastics) must be clean and placed loosely in the bottom of your recycling bin. Broken glass is not recyclable and should be independently wrapped and placed with regular household trash. Only #1 & # 2 plastic in the form of a bottle or jug can be recycled. A simple rule is to look for the neck; if the plastic container has a neck, it can be recycled.
NO PLASTIC BAGS PLEASE!

What day can yard waste be put out?

Yard waste for city collection must be placed in a biodegradable paper bag and placed curbside the evening prior to your collection day. Grass and leaves only. No dirt or stones. Branches must be bundled and tied together and should not exceed 4 feet 4 inches long. Yard waste will not be collected unless it is placed in a paper biodegradable bag.
