| Recycling Tip:
Paper Recycling: All clean mixed papers that are acceptable in the curbside recycling program are items such as: Newspapers, Junk Mail, Unbounded notebook paper, computer paper, thin boxes such as cereal boxes, pasta boxes, soda and beer packaging. Greasy pizza boxes are not acceptable, however the clean lid side, can be. Tear it off and pop it in your recycle bin. Corrugated Cardboard is also acceptable, but it should be flattened and cut to fit inside your recycle bin. If it is not flattened it will be discarded by the rubbish personnel of the DPW. Alternatively, you can take any of your recyclables to the Transfer Station near BJs Wholesale on Saturdays between 8:00-5:00pm.
