Current recycling guidelines:

• Place your recycling at the curb by 6:30 a.m.
• Keep your recycling about 5 feet away from your garbage, if they are collected on the same day.
• Rinse containers and put the lids in your garbage.
• Separate paper from the rest of your recycling. Put the paper in a brown, paper grocery bag or a second recycling bin.
• Flatten corrugated cardboard, cut or fold it to 2 feet by 2 feet, and tie it into manageable bundles with string or twine. Put pizza boxes in your garbage cart.
• On windy days, flattening aluminum cans and plastic bottles will help keep them from blowing out of the bin. Try placing a brick or another heavy object on top of your paper recycling, or if you put paper in a recycling bin, stack the second bin with your cans and jars on top of the paper recycling bin.
• Only recycle the following items. For more detailed information, click on the listed items.
  • Newspapers, magazines, catalogs, junk mail & office paper
  • Aluminum, steel & tin cans
  • Glass bottles and jars, all colors
  • Plastic bottles (#1 and #2) -- no other shaped plastic containers than bottles
  • Corrugated cardboard.
