A note on plastic...
Our program collects most containers that food, drink and cleaning products come in. You will find on the bottom of most containers, a recycling symbol with a number on it. Plastic containers with the numbers one through seven will be accepted in our curbside program.
Please note: plastic bags and Styrofoam are not accepted, even if they have symbols/numbers on them.
