What are my recycle days?
Recycling Pickup Schedule
Curbside collection of recycling items is once per week on one of your regular household trash pickup days. Each residence is issued two (2) containers to be used for recycling: one for paper, magazines, and cardboard, another for comingled materials (cans, glass, plastic, etc.). Please view the map for your scheduled pickup day. For additional information, including what materials will be collected, please go to the Recycling page.
