REDUCE IT...REUSE IT...RECYCLE IT

CLM Sanitation provides a voluntary recycling program. We pick up all recyclables co-mingled, meaning all collections go in the same truck, and then are taken to a facility that separates the items for us. We applaud your efforts and concern for our environment. Below are the guidelines you need to follow to ensure success in our program.

Corrugated cardboard boxes: Please cut up and flatten all boxes, this includes moving boxes, packing boxes, etc. It does not include toilet paper rolls or paper towel rolls or any type of waxed boxes.

Glass: We accept all glass. Please rinse and clean all glass and remove all tops.

Newspapers: This includes all inserts: Does not include telephone books or magazines. Newspaper must be dry.

Aluminum Drink Cans

Tin Cans: Includes food cans.

Plastics: Plastic bottles, milk jugs, and small plastic containers. Need to be cleaned out, but tops and labels can remain on them.

All plastic, aluminum and glass must be rinsed out thoroughly to avoid contamination. Please remove all lids from plastic, glass and metal items. If recyclables are not cleaned properly or if you have items that are not recyclable in your bin, then we cannot pick up your recyclables that day. Recyclable items must be placed inside the recycle bin (with the exception of a small amount of cardboard). ALL OTHER MATERIALS NOT LISTED ABOVE SHOULD BE PLACED IN THE 95-GALLON TRASH CONTAINER ON YOUR NORMAL HOUSEHOLD TRASH DAY.
