Prohibited Items
Do not leave any garbage, trash or yard waste at the Drop off Centers
These items can potentially contaminate the recyclable materials. Additionally the disposal of unauthorized items adds considerable expense to the program and puts the recycling drop off center at risk of being dropped from the program.
