Services
Mixed Recycling
Our mixed recycling program accepts clean paper, cardboard, plastics #1-7, glass bottles, and metal cans. Materials must be empty, clean, and dry to prevent contamination. This service helps divert recyclables from landfills while maintaining material quality for reprocessing.
Organics Recycling
We collect food scraps, yard waste, and compostable materials in designated green carts. This program reduces methane emissions from landfills while creating nutrient-rich soil amendments. Residents receive guidance on proper sorting and contamination prevention techniques.
Bulky Item Collection
Our annual bulky item collection service handles large household items like furniture, appliances, and electronics. Items are collected during scheduled community events to ensure proper disposal and maximize material recovery through reuse and recycling channels.
Hazardous Waste Disposal
We provide safe disposal options for household hazardous materials including paints, chemicals, and electronic waste. Special collection events and designated drop-off locations ensure proper handling to protect public health and environmental safety.
Edible Food Recovery
Our program helps businesses redistribute surplus food through partnerships with local nonprofits. We facilitate compliance with state regulations while connecting excess food with community members in need through the CareIt app platform.
