CURBSIDE PICKUP

  • Republic Services provides bi-weekly curbside recycling at no additional cost to residents.
  • Residents with weekly curbside trash collection can call Republic Services at 800-438-0966 to have a curbside recycling bin delivered to their curb.
  • Republic Services is providing clear bags for residents to use for overflow material that will not fit in the bin or to residents who do not yet have a bin. Full bags, along with additional boxes or containers that are clearly marked “RECYCLING”, can be set out on the curb on recycling day.
