Do you have a bulk pick up day for small broken furniture/scrap wood? Do I need to schedule it?
Please contact the office to make arrangements. Thanks
Can I put milk cartons in the recycling?
Yes
I thought wax-covered cardboard (e.g. milk or juice cartons) could not be recycled. Are you only referring to plastic milk jugs?
Where we moved from, NJ, shredded paper needed to be placed in a clear plastic bag, do you have any guidelines for shredded paper?
Please do not put any recyclables into plastic bags. Thanks
So… I’m really not trying to be difficult, just trying to comply to the rules… Since you don’t supply containers for recyclables what are we supposed to package them in so that the carriers don’t have to pick them up off the ground? 🤷🏻♀️ Is it okay to put one big box with everything else in it or shopping bags with handles?
Yes, that will be fine
Are light bulbs recyclable?
Not at the current time. Thanks
What about mail or plain papper
The recycling processing center does not currently have any restrictions on mail or plain paper so we can take it.
I have a large blue rolling cart I believe is the 95 gallon. Could I use it for either trash or recycle??
Yes, as long as it does not have the name of another hauling company on it.
Can I put magazines in the recycle or do they go in the trash?
Yes. The recycling center that we use does not restrict magazines. Thanks.
Do the recyclables have to be separated, or can they all go into one receptacle?
They can be mixed in a single bin. Thanks
We have just moved to the area. Our movers used a lot of white paper, we have bagged it in blue recycle bags, will it get picked up? I just had to bag it as there is so much? Thanks
