Our recycling program, only, collects items which are easy to collect and for which there is a market. For example, there is little market for plastic grocery bags, however, these are recyclable at grocery stores. As conditions change, residents will be notified of additions to the program. Recyclable materials are taken to a materials recovery facility, where they are processed and sold to manufacturers that use them for products ranging from new packaging to rugs and clothing. The city no longer sells yard waste bags.
Bags are available at local stores.
Remember, you haven't recycled until you buy products made from the materials you recycle.
