The current collection system uses two methods: 95-gallon split carts that are collected monthly for about 85% of households, and 18-gallon bins that are collected weekly for about 15% of households. The Department of Public Works is dedicated to improving recycling service to residents and increasing the amount of recyclables collected and recovered in the most cost effective manner possible. Recycling conserves natural resources and landfill space, supports jobs, and saves the City money. Every ton recycled saves the City and its residents money on avoided landfill disposal fees and through revenues gained from sale of the recyclables.
