Single Stream with Glass!

Thousands of you took the time to go on line and fill out our survey and express your opinions regarding recycling. An over whelming majority of you are extremely excited about the chance to deter glass containers from the landfill, and now is your chance! Although glass is not banned from the landfill, we have a chance to recycle it along with your other recycling items. We can now accept single sorted recycling that includes glass containers. This allows you to place all bagged trash in your garbage cart, and all recycling items (including glass), in another receptacle. The need to divide recycling into separate containers is no longer be necessary.

You can now place the following items together in one container for recycling:

• Corrugated cardboard
• Newspaper
• Magazines
• Junk Mail
• Phone Books
• Other light colored papers
• Plastics #1-#7
• Grocery Bags & other plastic bags
• Bubble Wrap
• Steel Cans
• Aluminum Cans
• Clean Aluminum Foil
• Cereal & soda boxes (chip board)
• Glass Containers - clear, amber, green etc.

Electronics are also accepted for recycling for a fee with a scheduled appointment.

Items not acceptable for recycling that will still be placed with your trash are as follows:

• Tyvke Envelopes
• Wax Paper
• Photographs
• Tissue Paper
• Gift Wrap
• Brightly Colored Paper

We greatly appreciate the opportunity that we have to serve this wonderful community. Everyone has proven they are extremely excited about moving forward and doing their part to preserve not only our world, but also the world of all generations to come. We are particularly impressed by the proactive stance that everyone has taken, and look forward to serving all of you in our new venture!
