Guidelines
- Break down recycling to fit inside of your cart with the lid closed. Cardboard boxes should be flattened. Remember no plastic bags are permitted. If you don’t have room in your cart for all your recycling, consider getting a second recycling cart for less than a dollar per month.
- Occasional extra recycling can be placed in a cardboard box, no larger than 2’ x 2’ or in a sturdy container such as a tall 20-32-gallon kitchen trash can. All overflow containers must have “RECYCLING” labeled on it and all cardboard must be flattened.
- Set carts out by 6:00 a.m., remove from street within 24 hours.
- Place wheeled cart against the curb or along the alley with the handle pointing towards your residence; do not block the sidewalk with carts.
- Keep carts at least three feet away from other carts, mailboxes, fire hydrants, low hanging trees or shrubs, parked cars or utility poles so trucks can easily access the cart.
- Do not place hazardous waste in your trash or recycling cart. See Household Hazardous Waste for more information.
Hefty® ReNew™ orange bag
The Hefty® ReNew™ orange bag gives participating residents a way to collect plastics not accepted as loose items in the curbside recycle cart and divert them from the landfill to be converted into valued resources.
Commercial
Important
Recycling materials must be loose, except for Hefty ReNew™ recyclables, those should be bagged in an orange Hefty ReNew™. Plastic bags cause problems at the recycling facility by getting caught in the sorting lines.
