The curbside recycling program uses convenient "single-stream" recycling, which means that you'll no longer have to separate your recyclable materials. Every household receives one 65-gallon wheeled cart where you can place all of your recyclable materials together for every-other-week recycling.

The biggest advantages of our single-stream program are that you no longer have to separate your recyclables and you can now recycle more types of paper products. Recycling has never been easier!

Obtaining additional recycling carts
You can purchase an additional recycling cart or exchange it for a larger cart, as well as request a new cart if it has been damaged during the collection process or stolen.

To switch from a 65-gallon to a 35-gallon or 95-gallon cart, or to order an additional cart for a one-time fee of $50, please call 3-1-1.

If your recycling cart is damaged in the collection process, the County will repair or replace it free of charge. If it is damaged due to neglect, abuse or modification, you are responsible for purchasing a replacement cart. Stolen carts must be reported by calling the non-emergency number of your local police department. The County will provide a free cart if you provide a police case number.
