Recycling and trash are collected curbside or in the alley on designated days. Accepted recyclables include glass containers, aluminum & steel cans, plastics #1-7 (no plastic bags), newspapers, magazines, and more. Plastics guidelines specify items like plastic bags, Styrofoam, and thin plastic packaging as non-recyclable. Residents can use the Waste Wizard for verification. Recycling bins should be placed correctly for collection, and missed pickups can be rescheduled by contacting the Sanitation Department. Zone-specific recycling calendars are provided annually, and recyclable materials can be dropped off at designated brush sites.
