Curbside Recycling Service to Restart

Recycling curbside services will resume on Monday, June 8, 2020. In an effort to service as many curbside residents as possible, we are resuming curbside operations with a limit on the amount of material picked up per stop. Each curbside stop will be limited to recycling materials equivalent to three (3) blue or black bins and broken-down (flattened) cardboard not to exceed one cubic yard. If a resident has excess recyclables, they are encouraged to save the material for the next scheduled curbside pick-up.
