The Department of Public Works will once again host the semi-annual collection of hard to recycle materials. Returning for Fall 2023 is ReCOLOR Paints, Electronics & Small Appliance recycling as well as secure Paper Shredding. Styrofoam, Tires and Propane Tanks will also be collected. These events help to keep valuable materials out of the waste stream and lessen the environmental burden of producing virgin materials. New this year, Bulky Rigid Plastics (such as buckets, laundry baskets and plastic lawn furniture) will be moving to a permanent recycling center drop-off later this Fall. Events are free and will be held on Saturday, October
