What Can I Recycle?

Our "everything recyclable goes in one cart" system makes it easy to recycle!

What We CAN Accept:

• Aluminum cans (empty cans only)
• Steel and tin cans (empty cans only)
• Newspaper and newspaper inserts
• Magazines and catalogs, junk mail, greeting cards, and file folders
• Office and school paper (all colors)
