2013 Recycling/Waste Collection Schedule

Waste & Garbage Disposal Guidelines

Curbside pick-up of waste & recycling occurs Tuesday of each week. Items should be placed by the roadside no later than 7:00am to ensure pick-up. The collection of recyclables alternates between paper/cardboard and plastic/metal products each week.
A complete bag tag must be attached to each garbage bag to ensure pick-up. Tags can be purchased for $2.00 each from the Town Hall and participating Deseronto convenience/grocery stores.
Your garbage bag should not weigh more than forty (40) lbs when full.
Place recyclables loosely in a recycling ‘Blue Box’, available for purchase for $10 at the Deseronto Town Hall or at most household product retailers. Grey boxes are no longer available for purchase, please use a blue box for your grey box (paper) items.
Flatten for improved space, remove staples & tape, bundle cardboard no larger than 36′ X 24″ X 8″ and place it beside your ‘Blue Box’.
All excess food/liquids must be cleaned off recyclable products.
Your ‘Blue Box’ should not weigh more than thirty (30) lbs when full.
Return empty alcoholic beverage glass bottles for refund to the ‘Beer Store - Empty Bottle Dealer’.
Unacceptable items should be disposed of with your regular garbage.
