Glass Not Accepted At Recycling

a red circle with a red slash over images of glass bottles and words no glass

Friendly reminder GLASS is NOT accepted as a recyclable by the recycling provider and therefore residents are requested to put glass in with their regular garbage. Staff is working on transitioning into a new Blue Box Program that will include glass, however, the transition will not take place until 2025. If anything changes before 2025 a notice will be provided in a newsletter and at the Waste Disposal Site.

Emergency Preparedness
