How to Recycle

Thank you for participating in our recycling program! In order to recycle, you must follow these instructions (the recycling sorting centers have regulations that we must follow-- or risk the whole load being turned away).

We have now switched to a single stream recycling program, allowing you to mix your papers in with your plastic, metal, and glass containers.

   a) The 18-gallon bin provided will be picked-up on your regular pick-up day each week.
   b) Please have your bin to the curb by 6am to ensure that you do not get missed.
   c) Please place the bin on the opposite side of the driveway from your rubbish -- this allows it to be more visible for the recycle crew.
   d) The materials below are included in the recycling program and should be prepared as described (materials not prepared properly cannot be accepted).
                                 
                     PLEASE-- NO Plastic Bags and No Batteries

You may mix the following in your Recycle Bin:

  • ALUMINUM & TIN CANS AND FOIL:  Examples include food containers such as foil pie plates, foil wrap, and tin cans. Rinse clean and remove labels. Place all three pieces in the recycling bin.
  • METAL POTS and PANS:You may now recycle your metal cooking pots and pans. Please clean and place in the recycle bin.
  • GLASS--CLEAR/BROWN/GREEN JARS AND BOTTLES: Rinse clean, remove lids and place the bottle, as well as metal lids into the recycle bin. Labels on glass are not required to be removed. Glass dishware and window glass is not accepted.
  • PLASTIC #1, #2, #4, #5, #6, and #7 BOTTLES/JUGS/CONTAINERS: Rinse clean, and remove the lids. All acceptable plastic bottles/jugs have #1, #2, #4, #5, #6, or #7 stamped on the bottom. No plastic bags. **This also does not include oil or antifreeze bottles as these are considered to be contaminated.**
  • NEWSPAPERS/MAGAZINES/JUNK MAIL/BOX BOARD/JUICE BOXES/PAPER CARTONS/FLATTENED BOXES: Examples include office paper, newsprint, phone books, magazines, envelopes without plastic windows, and flyers. No paper contaminated with food or waste (e.g. no paper towels, plates, and tissue). Examples of Box Board are cereal boxes and tissue boxes -- flatten and place in the same paper product bag.
  • CORRUGATED CARDBOARD: Flatten corrugated boxes and cut into 24" squares. On pick-up day, you may place these under the recycle bin.

The recycle bin remains the property of Hornback Recycling & Disposal, Inc. Should you move and/or discontinue service, the recycling bin is to be returned to Hornback's. There will be a charge for lost bins.
