Recycling Buckets

If you lose your recycling bucket or it becomes damaged, come to the Mayor's Office in the Town Hall, and we will be glad to replace it for you. All recyclables can be placed in the one large blue bin that is available for residents.

Residents can recycle magazines, orange juice cartons, milk cartons, and juice box containers, plastic bottles #1 & 2, along with glass and cans. Magazines and newspapers must be put in brown paper bags. Cardboard may also be put out at the curbside. The cardboard must be cut into a 2x3 square and tied. Everything else can be put together in the regular trash.
