Empty. Clean. Dry.
Be sure your recyclables are empty, clean and dry before you toss them in the recycling container. By practicing Empty. Clean. Dry. with our families, we can ensure the recycling materials leaving our homes are in fact recyclable. Together, we are caretakers of this blue planet. It is worthy of every effort we can make to protect it for our children's children. For more information on what can and should be recycled, please download our free guide to recycling.
Residential Container Placement
Proper container placement is the key to automated trash and recycling services. Have your container to the curb by 6:00 am of your collection day. Place your container at least five feet from any object, like a tree, pole, fire hydrant, mailbox, electrical box, etc., and at least five feet away from cars so the automated arm can reach your container. For more information on the proper placement of your containers, please download our free guide to placement.
