Suburban Disposal and Recycling is the new contractor for the residential curbside recycling program.

They will pick up your ‘prepared’ recyclables once a week.
If material is not properly prepared, it will not be collected.

DO

• Place your bin within 3 feet of the curb by 7:00 AM on your collection day
• Separate recyclables by type and place them in individual brown paper sacks
• Rinse all containers and remove food and other residues
• If it is raining or looks like it might, cover the newspapers or magazines with a plastic cover e.g. garbage bag

DON'T

• Do not place cardboard boxes, telephone books, broken glass, mirrors, light bulbs, window glass and other non-acceptable materials in your bin
• Do not leave plastic lids and rings on containers
• Do not use plastic grocery bags for separation of recyclables – use brown paper bags

Acceptable Material and Preparation Methods:

• Newspaper: If it came in the newspaper, it can be recycled with the newspaper
• Magazines: Newspapers and magazines may be bundled separately with a string
• Aluminum Cans
• Bi-Metal Tins
• Glass: both clear, green and brown
• Plastics: #1 through #7 (check the bottom of the container). e.g. milk jugs, water bottles, soda containers, and cleaning solution plastic containers
