What can be recycled?

Recycling helps to reduce your carbon footprint. The Town wanted to provide a brief update for our residents on what materials are now being accepted as recyclable.

  • Cardboard - Shipping/moving, (flattened) cereal, paperboard, frozen food

Rules

  • Recyclable materials may still be commingled in the same container and are later separated at the sorting facility.
  • Cardboard boxes must be broken down. It allows for neater and easier disposal.

  • Receptacles must be strong enough to withstand handling and prevent scattering of contents.
  • Recycling containers, when full, cannot weigh more than 50 pounds.
