Attention!
The Recycling Center ONLY accepts CLEAN recyclables (glass & plastic containers, steel, tin, & aluminum cans, etc.). Please make sure all leftover food and other residues are washed outbefore recycling them. We also only accept DRY cardboard.Thank you!
The Recycling Center is under 24-hour surveillance. Any items left outside the door will be considered illegal dumping. Residents who choose to dump will receive a citation and be fined.
Cardboard Box Notice: Please cut up any giant cardboard boxes into at least a 28" width by 58" length before dropping them off at the Recycling Center. Doing so will make them easier to bale.
Recycling drop-off procedures for PAID recycling:
Items that require a fee to be recycled should be paid for in the city office Monday to Friday 10 AM - 5 PM. See below for a list of our free recycling.
You will receive a receipt and a red PAID sticker notating items. The white receipt copy will be given to you to show the recycling attendant; the yellow receipt copy may be given to city office staff.
