Collection During Windy Conditions
If conditions are windy, place heavy items on top of lighter items (e.g, glass bottles on top of your plastic), or use lids. Until material is collected, it is the responsibility of residents to ensure that recycling does not blow around. If you do use lids, please label your containers to identify the material in the container. Free container labels are available in the General Office at the Municipal Building (1000 Route 10), Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.
