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  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)
