Recycling
Several recycling “convenience centers” are strategically located around the city and are accessible 24 hours a day, seven days a week. These locations are for recycling materials only. All items must be placed inside the container. All cardboard must be clean, broken down or flattened to be recycled.
Note: Your bill has never included a separate charge for recycling.
