Recycling collection

Solid Waste crews collect recycling for every residence in the Village each Tuesday and Thursday. splitting the days by recycling type:

  • On Tuesdays, glass, plastic, and food & beverage cans (blue bin) is picked up for the entire Village, as well as bulk items by APPOINTMENT ONLY.
  • On Thursdays, paper and cardboard (yellow bin) is picked up for the entire Village, as well as bulk items by APPOINTMENT ONLY.
  • When a holiday falls on a Thursday, bulk and recycling (blue bin) pick-up for that week will only be collected on the Tuesday before the holiday. Then, the regular collection schedule resumes again on Friday following the holiday.

Place recycling bins where you put your garbage

  • Please DO NOT put your recycling bin out in the swale as in the past.
  • Place the bins next to your house wherever you place your garbage. This will help reduce the amount of debris that is blown from bins into the streets and swales on windy days.
  • Keep paper and cardboard protected from rain to reduce the weight until collected. 
  • Co-Mingle plastic, glass and aluminum: Containers made of these materials should be rinsed out with lids and labels removed as well as possible.
  • Newspapers (bag or tie): A paper bag holds newspapers neatly and may be placed in one end or on top of the recycling bin.
