Why wasn't my garden debris picked up? It was out in black plastic bags and on the correct recycle Wednesday?
Your garden debris, leaves and grass clipping must be placed in paper bags, not plastic bags. The garden debris goes directly into our compost site and the plastic bags do not decompose.
I put a gas grill on the curbside on my Recycle Wednesday and it was not picked up. Why?
It was out on the right day but Bulk Metal is picked up by appointment only. Contact Public Works prior to your recycle day to schedule a pickup of your bulk metal. Examples of bulk metal items include: Appliances, metal furniture, lawn mowers, swing sets, pipes etc.
How do I dispose of some old paint cans I found in the garage? Some are empty; some are half. I am not sure if it is latex or oil-based paint.
Latex and oil based paint is picked up at curbside on your regular garbage day (place in box or plastic bag- lid off, lid absorbed). To prepare the paint cans for pickup, place cat litter or newspaper in cans to absorb liquid. Reason: Liquid paint seeps through drainage holes in sanitation truck and leaks onto driveways/roads.
My branches are on the curb and they were not picked up. Why were they missed?
Ensure that your branches are tied, as we do not pick up loose branches. Limbs/ branches should be no more than 6" in diameter, cut to 5' lengths or less and tied. Smaller branches and/or bush trimming should be placed in brown paper bags.
My co-mingled material was not picked up. I had it out on time at curbside in plastic bags. They picked up my neighbors' but drove right past mine. Can someone come back and pick up mine?
We do not pick up co-mingle from any type of plastic bag regardless of recycling number. While some plastic bags may be labeled recyclable, they are not recyclable in our market. We pick up all plastic containers labeled 1 or 2 only. If you need a recycling blue box, they are available at the Department of Public Works.
