Helpful Tips
- On windy days – put any paper or light weight items that might blow away in a trash bag (clear, white or blue – no black please) just set next to bin
- No need to separate items – everything can go in the bin together
- Please leave lids off plastic containers (helps them compress better in the truck) – the lid can still go in the bin
- Please breakdown any larger size cardboard boxes and just set it under or beside the bin
- Please rinse out all containers – the residue from product can contaminate the load
- All plastics that are recyclable will have a triangle on the bottom with a number in the middle – we take #1 – # 7 (only exception is Styrofoam)
- Excess items can be put in a trash bag (clear, white or blue – no black please) or in any type container – just mark them as “recycling”
- We can send Recycling Emblem Stickers to you if you have larger containers (even trash cans) you want to make into a recycling container
- Trash and recycling pickup on the same day? – it really helps if trash is on one side of the driveway and recycling on the other side of the driveway
- So Sorry – but we don’t take any type of Styrofoam products (peanuts, blocks, sheets, etc)
