Community Recycling

DPW picks up your recycling blue box once each week on the same day as your scheduled trash pick-up. You must maintain your own blue box which can be purchased at Village Hall for the small fee of $7.00. When placing your recyclables at the curb for pick-up please do the following:

• Place only proper recyclable materials in your blue box at the curb no earlier than 12:00 noon the day before and no later than 7:00 am on your regularly scheduled pick-up day
• Remove your empty blue box from the curb within 12 hours after it is emptied
• Place papers on the bottom of the box with cans and bottles on top; this will help reduce the chance for papers to scatter in the wind
• Do not place trash or any other nonrecyclable items in your blue box as the DPW will be unable to remove your recycling for the week
• If your recyclable do not fit in your blue box place all paper items in a separate paper bag next to your blue box; please do not use plastic bags
• Blue boxes must not be stored in front of property, rather along side or in the rear of property out of public site
• Landlords are responsible for the failure of tenants to comply with recycling rules and are responsible for all associated fines for noncompliance
• Recycling materials from outside the village are not allowed
