Recycling is easy for everyone Buildings with ten or more units are provided with ninety-gallon recycling containers.

Recycling at these buildings is picked up weekly or bi-weekly from the alley or parking lot where the containers are stored. Buildings with one to nine units are provided with a blue curbside recycling container for each unit. Remove liners and plastic parts. Please flatten if possible. NO window glass, dishes, light bulbs, ceramics, plastic bottles, or plastic bags Newspapers Newspapers, phone books, and brown paper bags can be recycled together.
