Recyclables vs. Trash
In the past, a number of recyclable materials have been placed in dumpsters instead of the recycle bins provided. According to Republic Services, the following products can be recycled and are picked up on Thursdays:
- Cardboard (folded), newspapers, mixed paper, junk mail, telephone directories, paperback books; TIP: for hardback books - hard covers must be first removed as they are not recyclable
- Plastics any color numbered 1 through 7 only
- Aluminum cans, but no other metal items
