Recycling
Program Eligibility
Presently, the Town recycling program is available to Single Family Residential homes. Due to recent changes in how recycling is transported locally and regionally, please pay special attention to recycling rules.
Sign-Up
To sign-up for recycling, contact the Finance Department to request a change in utility services. The Town will add this service to the customer's utility services.
Requirements
Recycling must be in a 32-gallon, weatherproof container with a lid and labeled with a "Recycle" sticker and house number. Town can provide the appropriate labels free of charge. Town will only accept clean recyclables from the list below.
Cost
Recycling costs $2 for each 32-gallon container picked up. See Rates for more information.
Schedule
Recycling is generally collected during the first and third week of the month on the customer's regular collection day for refuse. Alternate schedules may be used for national holidays. See the Schedules to determine collection days.
