Curbside Requirements
Place items in single sort container provided by your refuse hauler. Single sort containers mean that all recyclables can be co-mingled together in the same cart. No sorting is needed. DO NOT bag your recyclables in plastic bags! Plastic bags get stuck in the sorting equipment at facilities. Instead, keep your recyclables loose in your cart, or you may put them in paper bags.
Place the bin 2 feet behind the curb on the same day your garbage is collected.
