In spite of our best efforts, there are still some common recycling errors to be corrected including: Residents are advised that leaves will only be collected if they are in paper bags or reusable open top containers (excluding cardboard boxes) such as bushel baskets or garbage cans. Plastic bags will not be collected. The Town does not pick up leaves raked, blown or piled along the roads. Non-containerized or non-bagged leaves present a traffic and drainage hazard and residents are required to remove them.

Many stores offer a bag recycling program. e.g. rigid, formed plastic cov- ering items on cardboard or boxboard such as toys, bat- teries, makeup, toothbrushes please do not flatten these items as they are mechani‘ cally sorted by shape/size please keep lids separate from jars when placing in Blue Box
