HAZARDOUS WASTE COLLECTION
CURB-SIDE RECYCLING

Recycle all your bottles, cans, paper, and cardboard. If you're not sure whether something can be recycled, put it in the trash. Adopt the saying, "when in doubt, throw it out.
The Shape of Plastic Matters
With plastics, use the shape of the bottle to determine if it can be recycled. Recycle all bottle, tub and jug-shaped plastics. If it's a clamshell, flower pot, tube, or another shape, remember the saying "when in doubt, throw it out."
