Recycling and what's free

All four sites take recycling: mixed paper, number 1 and number 2 plastic containers (kept separate), clear, green and amber glass, cardboard and metal food cans. Major appliances such as stoves, washers, dryers, water heaters and furnaces go free as scrap metal, and electronics (TVs, computers, printers, game systems) are accepted for recycling.

Residents can bring up to five gallons of used motor oil a day, used oil filters, fluorescent bulbs (which are illegal to put in the trash) and propane tanks up to 100 pounds, all free.
