Please Do....

1. Continue to use plastic bags, especially for food waste. This will help keep the container clean and odor-free.
2. Simply roll the cart out on collection day, and place the can at the bottom of the driveway in the same spot your container was delivered. Make sure the arrow points toward the street as directed on the lid.
3. Make sure the container is clear of mailboxes, poles, parked cars or any other obstructions.

Please Don't....

Don't place any of the following materials in the container:

• No recyclables
• No bulk waste (see below for bulk collection dates)
• No brush
• No household hazardous materials
• No flammables, paints or thinners
• No remodeling or construction debris
• No hot ashes
• No metal pieces or items
• No Computers/TVs

1. Hazardous materials include paint, paint thinner, florescent light bulbs, car batteries, lithium batteries, rechargeable batteries, toxic chemicals, aerosols, thermostats, oil and fuel. 
2. Pressure treated wood may be brought to the Public Works for disposal.  State law prohibits it being picked up curbside.  There is a designated area in the yard for pressure treated wood.
3. It is no longer necessary to recycle regular A, AA, C and D batteries.  Manufacturers have been mandated to reduce the level of mercury in them and they may be thrown away in your regular trash now.
