What do I do if I see scavengers taking my recyclables from my recycling cart

Residents should contact the City's Code Enforcement section when they witness illegal scavenging of the recycling carts. They can be reached at 937-8815.

All recyclables should be rinsed and placed loose in the carts. Plastic bags (i.e. grocery store bags or trash bags) are not recyclable in this program.

All three carts will be picked up on the same day; however, not necessarily at the same time. Each cart will be serviced by a different truck so actual service times may vary.

Yes, residents may still recycle their own recyclables if they chose to do so.

However, there are many items that are accepted in the City's curbside recycling program which are not generally accepted at recycling centers. Make sure to call your favorite recycling center to see what they will accept before taking your items over.
