Christmas Waste & Recycling

Christmas can be one of the most wasteful times of the year. Below is a list of common items that are disposed of at christmas time and the appropriate place to put them.

Please help us keep the community clean, if you see an overflowing bin look for another one or come back tomorrow. Operators are working hard at this time to make sure bins are emptied regularly. Garbage left outside of bins can be an animal attractant and an eyesore for everyone in the community.
