Recycling Dos and Dont's

For Stonehurst residents, collection for recycling is on Wednesdays.  Please keep in mind the following do’s and don’ts when recycling:

• DO abide by the requested time: recycling should be put out no earlier than 6 pm Tuesday or no later than 6 am Wednesday.
• DON’T mix yard waste with your recycling. Yard waste must be bagged separately and put out on trash pick-up days.
• DO recycle the following items: plastic bottles, jugs, and food containers;  aluminum and tin cans; cardboard and waxed food boxes; newspapers, magazines, and phone books. Glass is no longer being collected.  You can either throw glass away or take it to the big purple bin off of Vaden drive for collection.
• DON’T forget to clean out any food containers, milk or juice bottles, or food boxes to be recycled.  If you can’t clean it off, it isn’t recyclable!
