Regular Weekly Mixed Recycling Schedule

Recyclable materials are collected once each week. Please place your blue recycling cart at the curb the night before your collection day. Carts should be placed at least one foot (1') apart and three feet (3') away from obstructions such as utility poles, mailboxes, and cars. Do not place recycling carts out more than one day in advance, and retrieve them on the same day as collection.

All recycling must be placed in the blue recycling cart and the lid must close. There should be no contents that protrude from the closed lid and the cart should not be overstuffed/overpacked. Recycling outside of the blue cart will not be collected.*

To find out what collection area you live in, please click here for a map, or search your address in the "Address Lookup" field on the homepage.
