General Recycling Information

Every person in the Village is responsible for separating recyclables from solid waste.  Your garbage and rubbish containers should be insect, vermin and rodent proof.  All containers should be durable, watertight, structurally strong, easily filled, emptied and cleaned and equipped with tight-fitting lids.

Property owners with bulk storage containers must maintain their containers at a location that has been approved by the Village Manager and Building Inspector.  They must also ensure that all bulk containers have self-closing lids or have the lids closed at ALL TIMES.  Owners of multi-tenanted buildings must also provide an educational program for the residents of the buildings on the matter in which source-separated materials are to be prepared for collection.
      Recyclables (glass, plastic and metal) are picked up on Mondays for ALL residents.
      Newspapers, Cardboard, Magazine & Junk mail are picked up on:
                   Tuesdays for those with Thursday garbage collection
                   Wednesdays for those with Friday garbage collection
      Please place these items at the curb.
