WHAT WE RECYCLE
Recycling Tips
Use your blue cart to recycle:
Scavenging – One way
that you can reduce
your chances of being
a target of scavenging
is
to
place
your
recycling cart out on
the morning of your
scheduled collection day instead of the
night before. This simple act will reduce
the opportunity for scavengers.
