Residents should place their recycling bins by the pavement by 6:00 a.m. for pick-up on their scheduled day. To receive your recycling bin, call Waste Pro.
Items that can be recycled include all colors of glass bottles, newspapers, magazines, mixed office paper, aluminum and steel cans, plastic bags, phonebooks, junk mail, and plastics with recycling code numbers 1 through 7.
