Recycling brochure updated

The Recycling and Solid Waste Division announces the release of a new recycling brochure for residents.  This informative and colorful publication focuses on current recycling issues and what we can do to reduce recycling contamination in our community.  The brochure also discusses what items are recyclable, “grass-cycling” and “e-cycling,” and answers to lots of frequently asked questions.
