Recycling Department:
In August 2009, Sanitation Services started its recycling program for cardboard, paper, and magazines.  As of January 2010 it expanded  to include a 96-gallon Big Blue recycling roll cart for small commercial accounts and 3 cubic yard containers for large commercial accounts. You can now recycle more items with your Big Blue recycling roll cart  or container and there is no need to separate! Just put all cardboard, paper, newsprint, magazines, envelopes, phone books and shredded paper only, into the same Big Blue recycling roll cart or container and place it out every week on your recycling day for collection. It couldn’t be easier!

Order your recycling cart now! To find your days of service for Recycling call 432-336-8525
