GARBAGE CART-BAGGED
Household garbage, including food waste and trash
RECYCLING CART
Cardboard & paper bags, telephone books, plastic jugs #1-2, newspaper, steel & tin cans, magazines & catalogs, junk mail & office paper, household plastics #1-6 are all accepted in your recycle bin. All plastic bottles must be rinsed out completely. If you are unsure if your plastic item falls under the #1-6 category look for the triangle recycle symbol on your item with the number in the middle.
No plastic bags, hangers, toys, 6 pack rings, chemical containers, hardcover books, carbon paper, soiled paper, styrofoam, aerosol cans, wire hangers, and non food metal containers. These items are NOT accepted in your recycle bin.
If your recycle bin has prohibited items inside the container you will receive a warning and we will not service your container. If you receive 3 warnings we will pull your recycle bin completely and you will not have the option to recycle.
BAGGED LEAVES & GRASS
Do not mix with bulky trash. If it is placed in bags it will be serviced on your regular trash service day. Place next to your garbage can.
BULKY TRASH
Items that are too bulky/heavy to fit in the garbage can: examples include automobile parts, furniture, camper tops, seats, etc.
WHITE GOODS
Large electrical goods used domestically, such as refrigerators and washing machines, typically white in color.
