The City provides two recycling bins. Recyclable materials should be separated as follows:
Red Bin:
Aluminum, tin or steel cans, glass bottles and jars (glass products must be clear, green or brown in color), and plastic containers with a #1, #2 or #3 imprinted on the bottom. No tops should be placed in the bins. PLEASE rinse containers before placing them in bins. Containers that ARE NOT rinsed will be left at your curbside. Any overflow should be placed in a paper bag on top of the recycle bin.
Due to a lack of demand in the marketplace the following items are not currently being recycled:
Any cartons with wax coverings such as juice containers or milk cartons, Styrofoam, plastic bags, aluminum foil products, paper or plastic grocery bags.
