Notice:

Recycling services are an expense to the Town, meaning it’s an expense to you.

Please use the bins as they are intended. This prevents wasting resources associated with this service. If garbage is placed in recycling bins the ENTIRE bin is simply disposed of at the landfill. This is a waste of the funds associated with running the recycling service.

Remember:

Following the guidelines makes recycling more efficient, which decreases the cost to operate the system.
