Recycle Right
All residents are required to recycle. Learn how to set up recycling and trash service at your home.
How to recycle right
- Do not use plastic bags. Place recyclables loose in your recycling cart or in a paper bag.
- Empty and dry bottles, jars and containers. They don't have to be perfect — just free of most residue.
- Leave caps on containers.
- Empty and flatten boxes.
