These items are acceptable to go inside your red recycling bin for curbside every-other-week pickup.

    When setting out your red recycling bin, please do the following:  
  • Put your red bin outside by 7:00 a.m. on your designated collection day.
  • Place the bin 4 feet from your green trash container, so our trucks can easily pick up each container.
  • Place newspapers, junk mail, advertising inserts, magazines, white & colored paper in a separate container (box, grocery bag, tied bundles, etc.) next to your red bin.  On rainy days, protect them from getting wet.  We cannot accept wet or sunburned papers.
