Know When to Recycle, Pick-up a Calendar Magnet at City Hall
We invite all Curb It! participants to stop by their local City Hall to pick up a 2013 collection calendar magnet. It’s often hard to remember what week to take the recycling cart to the curb. Our magnet can serve as a convenient reference inside your home, rather than running out to your Curb It! cart to check. Neither Metro Waste Authority, nor the cities, are able to mail them due to the expense. You can also download and print a copy of the 2013 Curb It! Collection Calendar
