Recycling

 
 

In order to maximize the
effectiveness of our program,
please use this container and
renew your efforts to recycle
and preserve our natural
resources for future
generations.

  • Battery recycling

Q. What's recyclable?
A. All paper waste!
e.g. office paper, envelopes (with or without plastic windows), magazines, newspapers, books, phone directories, post-it notes, etc. Staples on paper are acceptable. Cardboard can be recycled, too, by breaking down boxes and placing them along side your recycling can.
Exceptions: paper contaminated with food, chemical or biological waste.
Did you know…
  • The average American uses 650 lbs. of paper a year.
  • Recycling one ton of cardboard saves over 9 cubic yards of landfill space.
  • One ton of paper from recycled pulp saves 17 trees, 3 cubic yards of landfill space, enough energy to heat your home for ½ year, and prevents 60 pounds of air pollutants.
The following services are available:
  • Bulk confidential shredding
  • Moving or Spring Cleaning? Large recycling containers can be provided at your work site
  • Recycling of beverage containers or specialty items
