CURBSIDE RECYCLING IN MAYFIELD VILLAGE
Kimble Co. provides weekly curbside recycling for village residents. Combine cans, cartons, glass, paper and boxes plus plastic bottles and jugs loose (unbagged) in the provided 65 gallon tote. Recyclables are picked-up on the same day as the solid waste, by a separate truck. Nothing needs to be separated or tied.
Combine the following core items in your curbside recycling container. Do not bag them. No other items should be placed in your recycling. And when in doubt, throw it out.
The CORE ITEMS:
- CANS: Empty and rinse.
- GLASS: Empty and rinse.
- PAPER & BOXES: Flatten cardboard items, like cereal boxes, to save space.
- PLASTIC BOTTLES & JUGS: Empty and rinse. Replace the cap.
