When?

Recycling is picked up on your second and fourth recycling day of the month (your old city recycling pick up day). For instance if Thursday is your regular pickup day, we will come by on the second and fourth Thursday of the month. Just set your tied up blue recycling bags on the curb before 8AM, and we’ll take care of the rest! If your pick up day falls on a city holiday, we will collect your recyclables on Wednesday of that week.

How to bag recycling:

When you sign up for our curbside service we’ll drop your blue recycling bags at your door in 3-6 business days. Glass must be collected in a separate bag or in an optional tote bin available for purchase, and all your other recyclables can be collected in the same blue bag. On pickup day place your bags on the curb and place any flattened cardboard boxes underneath the bags.

Recycling tips!

As important as recycling is, it is also important to recycle correctly

  • We accept plastic jugs and bottles 1 &2. The number can be found imprinted on the product, usually on the bottom.

  • Recycled items should be free of food residue- remember, recycling shouldn’t stink!

  • Remember, styrofoam is unfortunately not recyclable.

  • Please no pizza boxes, dirty napkins, or other paper products contaminated by food waste.

  • Remember to rinse jars and containers before recycling them.

  • All glass should be bagged separately for safety reasons, and please no broken glass or sharp objects..

  • Light bulbs, batteries, chemicals, clothes hangers (plastic or metal), plastic toys, chip bags, grocery bags, juice boxes, and candy wrappers are not recyclable with us.
