Single stream recycling allows both residential and commercial recyclers to place all recyclables into one bin, regardless of material type. This makes recycling easier for the consumer and increases participation throughout the community.

Simplifying the process results in higher consumer participation, more recyclables collected, and less waste in our landfills.

Tips for curbside recycling

• Be sure to put your materials out by 6am on your normal trash day.
