Non-recyclable materials: Following is a list of materials that should not be included with the recycling collection.



Collection: On Wednesday collection days, your green trash barrel(s) will be emptied by a Parks & Sons trash truck and your tan recycling barrel will be emptied by a Parks & Sons recycle truck. Thus, both your trash and recycling barrels will need to be set out at the curb on Wednesdays for collection. Please continue have your trash and recycling barrels out at the curb the previous night or by 5:30 am the day of collection.

Preparation: Recyclables need to be relatively clean, dry, and empty. Lightly rinse the recycling container, if necessary, to remove food particles. Please be conscientious of your water use while rinsing the containers. Remove non-recyclable material from the recyclable item (such as plastic cereal inserts). Plastic and metal caps and labels do not need to be removed from the recyclable items.

Separation: You do not need to sort or separate your recyclables from one another. This is a single-stream recycling program, meaning that all recyclable items are placed into the bin together (e.g. glass can be mixed with plastic, paper mixed with aluminum cans, etc.).

Containment: Do not place recyclables in plastic bags as they contaminate the recycling load. Recyclables should be uncontained when placed into the recycling barrel.
