Recycling:

We are pleased to announce the expansion of our commercial recycling program in your area. While many of you have taken advantage of the opportunity to recycle your cardboard at no charge, we are now expanding that program to a full range of recyclables. Please see the attached list for information on how this great new program works!

In order to participate in this program, all you need to do is maintain your customer account with a minimum of one (1) yard of garbage service once a week, or the equivalent, and be sure that your recycling bin is free of contamination. Contaminated bins will be handled as regular garbage so that the recyclables collected from other participants can still be processed.

Your current recycling bin is now “Mixed Recycling”. Please place all material in bins loose, no bagged material. We will be changing the “Cardboard Only” signage on your bin over the next year so disregard it as this new program starts up.

We look forward to serving you with this expanded recycling program that will benefit our customers, our communities and our environment.
