Step 1: Call your provider
- If you have curbside trash service, call your hauler and ask about curbside recycling.
- If you live in an apartment or complex with a shared trash collection, call your property manager and ask about recycling.
- While you're waiting for recycling services, drop off your recycling at the Quail Street Recycling Center.
Step 2: Test your recycling knowledge
- Ask for a list of materials accepted for recycling by your collector and make sure you are recycling the right materials.
- Create a "hard-to-recycle" corner. Not all materials belong in the recycling bin, but you can repurpose and recycle them in other ways! Create a space in your home for the materials that are not accepted in your recycling bin.
- Food and yard waste? Consider composting!
- Scrap metal? Take them here!
