Curbside Recycling
Overview
There is no limit to the amount of recyclables that may be placed at curbside. Recyclables are picked up by a contractor, Waste Management, on the same day as your trash.

Place your recycle container curbside with your trash by 7:00 am on your collection day a few feet away from your trash. Recycling will be delayed one day following observed holidays.

If you need to know when your collection day is, please see Find Your Collection Day.

Recycle Barrels
Barrels are available at the Department of Public Works office in the Memorial Building Room 213, Monday - Friday 8:30 am - 5:00 pm, or at the Recycle Drop-off Center on Mt. Wayte Avenue (Friday - Saturday 8:00 am - 3:00 pm, Sunday 11:00 am - 3:00 pm ). 

The fee is $10 per barrel. All fees are subject to change without notice.
