Recycling Changes & Simplification
Per CBS April 5, 2024
Changes & Simplifications (per CBS PSA dated April 5, 2024) at Recyling Center, 802 Sawmill Creek Rd. (across from National Cemetery):
CBS Public Works Dept. announces changes and simplifications for recycling, effective immediately.
- Recycle Center will now accept #5 plastic (in addition to #1 and #2 plastics). All plastics can be co-mingled in the same container, no separation of these plastics is necessary.
- Corrugated cardboard & newspapers can now be co-mingled, no separation is necessary.
- Glass, aluminum & metal cans, scrap aluminum & other metals are still accepted and must be separated into their labeled containers.
- Please remove items from garbage bags and take non-recyclable items to the Transfer Station, located at 205 Jarvis Street.
- CBS sells recycled items which reduces the cost of solid waste processing.
- We hope these improvements make it easier for citizens to recycle and appreciate the benefits it provides.
