Commercial Recycling

Recycling is available to qualifying small businesses. Businesses that receive once-a-week hand collection of garbage qualify to participate in the Small Business Curbside Recycling Program.

Businesses (including churches, nonprofit organizations) that are ineligible for the city's program are: 1) those that use a Dumpster for garbage collection; 2) those located in the Central Business District receiving hand collection of garbage six (6) days a week.

The following materials are collected:

glass jars and bottles
all plastic bottles
aluminum beverage cans
aerosol cans

Refer to Preparing Materials. Bins must be at the curb by 6:00 a.m. on collection day. Collection service is provided by a private contractor, Waste Management.
