2. Recycle Right

Empty, Clean & Dry

Food residue & liquid is fine, as long as there’s not enough to bite or drink from.

Don’t Bag Recyclables

Unless it’s an EnergyBag, no plastic bags in our carts.

Not All Plastics are the Same

Plastic Containers (aka things that hold food or liquid) = Recyclable
Soft & Flimsy Plastics = EnergyBag or Landfill

When In Doubt, Throw It Out

The recycling stream is sensitive, so if you don’t know, it’s better to landfill than “wish cycle.”

Got Excess Cardboard?

You can always drop it off at a free recycling site.

3. Compost Correctly

Most waste hauling companies are known for landfilling yard material. But for most of our routes, we actually compost it. So if you use our yard waste/material service, here’s how to get your yard material composted.

Yard Material Only

Please, no plastic bags or plastic, glass, and metal of any kind.

No Plastic Bags or Glass

Just had to say it again.

Don’t Let Grass Get Stuck

A common call we get is about grass sticking to the bottom of the cart after service. A proactive way to get around this is to put cardboard or folded yard waste bags at the bottom of your cart.

4. Avoid Overflow

Overflowing carts might get skipped

If you have more material than you can fit into your cart, either save it for next time or add another cart to your service.

Extra monthly fee for carts

Varies depending on a few factors, but for most:

Landfill = $14.50
Recycling = $9.25
Yard = $6

5. Placing Carts

Place Carts at the Curb 3 Feet Apart

We use automated trucks, so in order to ensure they are emptied, please place them at the curb with the front of the cart facing the street.

6. Cart Cleanliness
