YES
Plastic:
Only plastics with these recycling logos and the #1 or #2 on them are recyclable. These are primarily clear or white milk containers, soda and/or detergent bottles. No other type of plastic should be placed in the orange can.
Paper:
Includes all newspapers and color comics, all newspaper enclosures, all magazines, telephone books and all computer and fax paper.
Corrugated Cardboard:
Recycle corrugated cardboard (cardboard boxes) only. Paper bags are also accepted.
Metal:
Tin and aluminum cans and disposable aluminum trays and pie pans are the only metals that should be placed in your orange recycling can. This is the only type of metal for which there is currently a market. For pick up of larger bulk items like swing sets, contact your garbage carter.
Glass:
Includes all clear, amber, or green glass jars and bottles. No other type of glass is accepted.
NO
Plastic:
Do not recycle syringes, toys, small plastic or squeezable bottles, saran wrap, plastic utensils, stytrofoam or supermarket plastic bags. These items contaminate the recycled plastic mixture, making it unsaleable.
Paper:
Do not recycle items like paper towels and hardcover books.
Cardboard:
Do not recycle cereal boxes, food, medicine, detergent or gift boxes, soda or beer cartons.
Metal:
Do not recycle items like hangers or pots and pans. Hangers and odd-sized pieces of metal jam the conveyors at our recycling facility. (Return hangers to dry cleaners for reuse.)
Glass:
Do not recycle items like window glass, household dishes or crockery, drinking classes or colored glass other than amber, clear, or green.
Bulk Items:
Never place large bulk items such as swing sets out with your recyclables. Call your carter to arrange for collection.
Recycling Schedule:
Your orange recycling can (Containing plastics, glass and cans) and green recycling receptacle (containing newspaper, magazines, and paper) are picked up on alternate Wednesdays by garbage carters contracted for by the Town. The Green Container is picked up one week and the orange can the next week.
For pick up of large bulk items, see instructions on back.
