The Sanitation and Recycling Department is located at 298 East South First Street. Mr. Krabbe stated voluntary recycling was going well, noting the City had recycled approximately 7,000 tons of material last year. Items that can be recycled are glass, newspaper, mixed paper, textiles, aluminum, corrugated cardboard, and plastics. The City requires customers to separate their curbside garbage. Garbage is not picked up at the same time.
Crews work different schedules.
The City requests that items be stacked according to type. All construction and demolition materials should be placed together. This includes washers, dryers, and refrigerators. Doors on refrigerators should be removed for safety. Small limbs should be placed together for chipping.
