Recycling How-To's!
Curbside Service
Curbside pick-up offers an easy and convenient way to recycle. Most waste haulers provide single stream recycling allowing all recyclables to be mixed and collected in one bin–no separation of materials required! Contact your waste hauler for more information. Residents within cities or towns in the Resource Renew (formerly WLSSD) service area can take advantage of this convenient recycling option offered by all waste haulers.
Resource Renew requires that these items are separated for recycling by residents:
- Aluminum, steel, and tin food or beverage containers
- Glass food or beverage containers
- Magazines or catalogs
- Newspaper or newsprint
- Plastic containers
- Paper
- Corrugated cardboard
