Recycling Information

Automated Recycling pickup will be Wednesday, Oct. 11, 2023.

OLD BINS: Residents can place the 18-gallon bin inside the new recycling cart so Waste Connections can dispose of them. 

NEW CARTS: New carts will be delivered the week of Oct. 1.

Placement Requirements

  • Recycling carts should be placed in the street by 7 a.m. with the wheels against the curb or at the edge of the paved street with the front facing the street. The automated trucks cannot service containers set out backwards
  • Do not set recycling carts in alleyways
  • Please see picture below for spacing requirements that need to be from any fence, gas meter, telephone pole, utility box, tree, shrub, additional collection container, or other potential obstruction. o Vehicles should not be parked on the street near the container. Allow plenty of space for the recycling truck to maneuver in front of the cart
  • Recycling items may be placed loosely in the recycling cart
  • Please make sure not to overfill the cart, this can cause items to be dropped or blown away when it is dumped, creating unsightly litter in your neighborhood and potentially clogging storm drains.

NOTE: Driveway collection is provided to physically challenged citizens who are sole residents at the address where service is requested, unless all other residents at the service address have disabilities which prevent them from placing waste and recycling items at the curb for collection.
