Other notes

The city lists these two physical bin locations as one municipal drop-off program. They are grouped here rather than creating multiple pages for the same minimal-bin service.
City-linked drop-off PDF accepts plastics 1/2 BOTTLES AND JUGS only (no other plastic packaging), glass bottles/jars (no tableware, windows or broken glass), steel/aluminum food/beverage cans, newspaper, office paper, mail, magazines/catalogs, books/phonebooks, paperboard and cardboard. No waxed cardboard or waxed paperboard such as milk cartons.
Rinse containers, remove lids/caps/tops and leave labels. Place ordinary recyclables loose in designated trailers. Shredded paper is the specific exception: bag it in paper or plastic. Do not leave material outside trailers. The PDF is undated, so verify any posted bin changes.
Do not leave TVs, computer equipment, paint or other hazardous products in the ordinary recycling bins. The city directs household electronics to a separate sponsored Southern Recycling Center service.
The city mentions additional electronic collection dates as they become available, not a standing evening schedule. Call the municipal number for current electronics directions.
This listing does not establish a general-trash, furniture or construction-debris receiving service at either bin location.
