One Cart Recycling Program

Recycle plastics #1-#7 tubs, jugs, bottles & styrofoam. Rinse & remove lids from containers. Recycle loose lids in your cart. Labels do not need to be removed. There are seven different plastic recipes (types). To identify plastic type, look on the bottom of containers for number inside recycling arrows.

 DO NOT RECYCLE-plastic toys, hangers or plastics without numbers, hoses, pool covers or holiday decorations. Do not put plastic bags in recycle carts-instead all plastic bags can be recycled at your local grocery store.  This includes: grocery bags, dry cleaning bags, food bags (ie bread) and newspaper sleeves. Just remove receipts and crumbs.

Recycle clear, brown, green & blue glass. Rinse containers, no need to remove labels. Remove lids & bottle caps from containers and recycle them in your cart.

DO NOT RECYCLE-window glass, mirrors, kitchen dishes, drinking glasses or ceramics.

Recycle all food & beverage metal cans-steel, tin, bi-metal & aluminum. Rinse cans and recycle lids. Also, recycle clean aluminum foil & aluminum food pans.

 DO NOT RECYCLE-pots and pans or scrap metal in recycling carts. Instead, recycle at various drop-off locations around town (click here for more information).
