Garbage, Recycling and Yard Waste Service

Recycling bins are available at the Village Hall and cost $10.00.  New residents are allowed one recycling bin free of charge.  Any additional recycling bins are $10.00 each.

In general, recyclables do not have to be sorted.  Sorting is done at the landfill. Glass,plastic, aluminum and other metal cans can all be placed in your recycling bin.  Only paper cannot be commingled with other recyclables.

          Newspaper -  Place newspaper inside a brown paper grocery bag    
          and set the bag on top of your recycling container.

          Plastic - The only plastic accepted for recycling is plastic containers.
          If you look at the bottom of plastic containers you will see a
          recycling logo that has a number inside and a letter below. 
          Currently, we are only accepting plastic containers labeled #1 PETE
          and  #2 HDPE.  Rinse containers and throw the lids away.  Crush
          plastic containers the best you can to reduce their volume in your
          bin.

          Glass Bottles and Jars - Only clear, brown or green glass that
          contained a food or beverage can be recycled.  You may leave the
          labels on glass containers, but rinse them thoroughly and throw
          away the lids.  For the safety of the collection crews and sorters,
          broken glass will not be accepted.

          Tin and Aluminum Cans - To recycle aluminum and steel cans, clean
          them thoroughly.  Aluminum foil and pie pans are also acceptable. 
          Just make sure all are clean and free of food before you put them in
          your bin.

          Cardboard - Corrugated cardboard must be flattened and bundled in
          2' X 2' bundles.
