- When possible, leave a space of 10 feet between your trash carts and cars, trees, mail boxes, and basketball hoops. We use trucks with automated collection arms and this spacing is needed for them to function effectively.

Recycling is collected every other week.
If the decal under your cart lid is RED, set your recycling out on the RED weeks, if its YELLOW set recycling out on the YELLOW weeks.
If your regular collection day falls on or after New Years, Memorial Day, July 4th, Labor Day, Thanksgiving, or Christmas, collection will be one day later than usual.
Co-mingled recycling, also known as single-stream recycling, is a waste management approach that involves collecting multiple types of recyclable materials, such as paper, cardboard, plastic, glass, and metal, together in a single container.
Guidelines
- Recyclables need to be relatively clean, dry, and empty. Examples of this include a mayonnaise jar wiped clean of residue with a spatula or emptying a soda bottle completely in the sink.
- Lightly rinse the recyclable container, if necessary, to remove food particles.
- Remove non-recyclable material from the items (such as plastic cereal inserts). Plastic and metal caps do not need to be removed from the recyclables.
- Recyclables should be unrestrained when placed in your recycle container(s).
- DO NOT bag recyclable items.
- Recyclables must be out for collection the previous night or no later than 7:00 am the day of service.
- Recycling pick-up occurs on your trash day, every other week. For your collection dates see the service days calendar.
A Hazardous Waste Mobile Unit will be at Bernie Fisher Park the 3rd Wednesday in January, July, and October from 12pm-7pm. For more information, please contact J&M Sanitation.
