Curbside Collection of Trash and Recycling

The City’s curbside collection of trash and recycling will continue as normal.

If you are working or practicing social distancing at home, you may find yourself generating unusual items in your waste stream and you might wonder about recycling. Our curbside recycling program is operating normally and the rules have not changed:

• Wash food out of containers
• Plastic wraps and bags (films) are not recyclable curbside but may be at grocery stores if clean and dry.
• Use the drop off kiosks for food waste to keep it out of your trash and create energy and compost.
• Ask your local take-out restaurant to use compostable containers so they can be tossed with the food.
• Wipes (anti-bacterial or not) and paper towels cannot be recycled and should be placed in your trash. Also do not flush these items in your toilet.
• Office paper used at home is recyclable with other paper in your curbside bin. Remember to use both sides.

Learn more about curbside collection here.

*Please note, the City uses a third party provider, MuniciPAY, for this service. There is a min of a $1.50 or 2.5% processing fee, the same fee charged to those who pay at the office with a card.
