Recycling And Waste Reduction

The Recycling Division is responsible for ensuring that recyclable materials collected are recoverable and do not include contamination (the placing of prohibited items that cannot be placed in your curbside recycling cart).  To accomplish this, the division focuses on education, outreach, monitoring and constantly improving the Department's comprehensive recycling program.
