Recycling
Clean and separated is key to a quality material.
While it may seem cumbersome to some at first, especially if you are coming here from a "single-sort" community, you will find that the recycling program is actually quite simple once a system is developed for your household.
Transfer Station staff is here to assist you. Do not hesitate in asking questions. By working together we can keep the facility operating smoothly and efficiently, saving both money and aggravation!

 | Mixed paper Newspaper and magazines, junk mail, school papers, office paper, manila envelopes, cereal boxes, beer and soda cartons, calendars, egg cartons, paper towel tubes, milk and juice cartons, paper bags, paperback books. |
 | Corrugated cardboard Multiple layered boxes with the “squiggly” lines. Not necessary to flatten, but it is helpful if they are. No waxed or heavily soiled boxes. |
 | Tin cans Vegetable cans, pet food cans, aluminum foil, pie plates, coat hangers, empty aerosol cans. No heavy metal items like pots and pans, these go in the scrap metal outside. |
 | Plastics Milk jugs, gallon and greater water bottles, detergent bottles. Generally found on the bottom of the plastic container is a recycling symbol with a numeral in it, ranging from #1 to #7.
Due to the lack of market opportunities for the sale of plastic bags and related material, we are forced to discontinue the recycling of such effective immediately.
All numbered plastic containers go together. No Styrofoam, plastic hangers, cutlery or bags and film. Nothing larger than 5-gallon buckets; these go in a separate category. |
 | Glass Clear bottles and jars, clean with lids removed. All other glass (colored, window glass, cups and dishes) are separate. |
