About Curb It!
Curb It! makes recycling just as easy for residents as throwing things in the trash. For nearly 20 years, the curbside program has helped residents conveniently conserve natural resources and save landfill space. Learn what’s accepted in the recycling program.
What to Wear
We recommend wearing casual clothes with closed-toed shoes. The facility has many large, open doors, so it is best to dress weather appropriate.
