Tuesday Recycling Tip! Some refrigerated delivery items come with insulated packaging like this to keep your products cold. Unfortunately, the packaging is advertised as being recyclable curbside when it is not. These are not allowed in your curbside recycling cart, they are of a mix of film plastic and PET staple fiber and cannot be recycled curbside. We understand it’s confusing when mixed messages like this are shared, please refer to our website for details on what can and cannot be recycled at the curb! https://pridedisposal.com/residents/recycling

Tuesday Tip! Our collection trucks use an automated arm to service your totes, so proper placement is important to ensure safe and efficient service.

When placing your totes curbside for collection, please take the following into consideration:
• Leave 3’-5’ between each tote whenever possible. This makes it easier for the automated arm to pick up each tote without knocking over the totes next to it.
• Do not block sidewalks, bike lanes, or vehicle lanes of travel.
• Place totes within 5’ of curb.
• Make sure there is 18’ overhead clearance from items such as basketball hoops and tree branches.

It’s important that you do not block sidewalks with your totes. People that utilize wheelchairs, strollers, etc. need to be able to safely use the sidewalks, and blocking the sidewalk with your totes creates a hazard.
