Question: What can I recycle?

 In

Answer:

The City uses single-sort recycling. This means that you do not need to separate your recyclables — you can recycle all approved recyclables together in the first hopper at the Transfer Station.

Approved recyclables are:

  • Rigid plastic containers #1-7
  • Paper, newspaper, paper bags, magazines, envelopes, flyers, and books
  • glass jars and bottles
  • paper coffee cups and milk, juice, dairy-free milk and broth cartons
  • cardboard, paperboard, and tubes
  • metal cans, pots, and pans

The following items are not allowed in the recycling hopper:

  • plastic bags, bubble wrap, or plastic wrap
  • light bulbs, batteries, or electronics
  • Food and yard waste or demolition debris
  • bagged recyclables or trash
  • to-go lids, styrofoam, straws, or napkins
  • hoses, ropes, or textiles
  • diapers or pet waste
  • sharps, knives, or propane tanks
