Aluminum Beverage Cans - Soft drink and beer cans are also recyclable. Step on them to save space in your recycling bin and our trucks.
Glass Containers - All glass containers may be recycled. Remember to rinse them out and remove the metal lids before placing the glass in the recycling bin for collection.
Magazines and Shopping Catalogues - Both magazines and home shopping catalogues are recyclable. Place them in your red Curb It recycling bin or with newspapers. A brown paper bag may also be used, NOT a plastic bag.
Milk Jugs - Milk jugs, like plastic beverage containers, should be crushed and placed in the red Curb It bin for collection on your scheduled collection day.
Newspapers - Newspapers and all inserts are recyclable. Place them under the Curb It bin or on top or beside the glass, aluminum, metal and plastic in your bin. To prevent newspapers from being blown by the wind, you may place them in a brown paper bag, NOT a plastic bag.
Cardboard - Cardboard may be collected at curbside and recycled throughout the city. Cardboard boxes should be empty, cut into pieces no larger than 3 feet x 3 feet, flattened and stacked neatly at curbside on your scheduled collection day.
Plastic Soft Drink and Liquor Bottles - Remove the lids and crush the plastic soft drink or liquor bottles. Place them in the red Curb It recycling bin for collection.
Spiral Paper Cans - Spiral paper cans, those used for powered beverages and snacks, may be recycled. Remove any plastic or metal lids and rinse or wipe out any remaining food stuff. Recyclable paper cans are round and have metal bottoms, and you can see spiral groves on the inside.
Steel Cans - Steel food containers should be rinsed out to remove any remaining food stuff before placing in the red Curb It recycling bin for collection.
Telephone Books - Each year the City collects out-dated residential telephone books. Place your directory in the red Curb It recycling bin or place underneath with newspapers.
