Single-Stream Recycling Offered by MOST
Recycling Collectors
It’s so easy—most of the companies collecting residential curbside
recycling collect in a “Single Stream” manner, meaning that most
items can be mixed together in one recycling bin. Please check
with your hauler to be sure of what is collected, however in general, most types of plastics, paper (including magazines, catalogs,
junk mail and cardboard), food & beverage glass and food &
beverage cans can all be placed in your recycling bin. Recyclables
that contained food should be rinsed and any lids should be discarded. (Those haulers who don’t offer single-stream still offer
comingled recycling pickup which includes #1 and #2 plastics,
food & beverage glass and food & beverage cans.)
Call for Hours
When is my collection day?
Check with your hauler to get your
recycling pickup schedule.
