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

Thank You...for your interest in our Recycling program. We applaud your efforts and concern for our environment. Below are the guidelines you need to follow to ensure success in our program.

You will need to bag your recyclables in 39 gallon clear or clear blue plastic bags. You can purchase these at Wal-Mart, K-Mart, Kroger, Home Depot or most anywhere groceries or home items are sold. Each type of recyclable can be bagged in the same bag. We collect recyclables co-mingled. At the recycle facility they are then sorted and reused. Below are the types of recyclable material accepted:

• All rinsed plastic jugs and soda bottles
  
• All dry newspapers
  
• All rinsed aluminum cans
  
• All rinsed tin cans
  
• All glass of all color
  
• Cut Cardboard
  
  

* All plastic, aluminum and glass must be rinsed out thoroughly to avoid contamination. Please remove all lids from plastic, glass and metal items.

* Put out only bags that are full, by source separating most families can store their recyclable up to a month before the bag is full.

* Recycle only those items that you can accumulate a lot of.

Presently, we will be picking up recyclables at the curb on the same day as your regular household trash. We will pick up the recyclables in a 2 yard cage built onto the side of the truck. Currently, when our cage is full we cannot pick up anymore recycles material on that day. We apologize for this; however, we are proud to say that we are the only hauler recycling at all. Our participation in recycling is not high enough to run a separate truck.

At this point in time, we are picking up recyclables at no charge to you. As participation increases, we will eventually have to go to a separate pick up in a separate truck. When this occurs, we may have to charge a fee to cover the cost of continuing the recycling program.
