Recycling information

July 2, 2009

With the beginning of July, the new recycling program will begin.  Pick-up in Altoona will begin on Monday/Tuesday July 13/14.  Below are a few helpful reminders:

·         Use your new, green wheeled carts.   The small, handheld 18-gallon bins will no longer be collected.

·         Collection is every other week.  The calendar sticker on the lid of the cart will help you remember which week is your collection week.  Just match the lid color to the key on the sticker.

·         Keep 3 feet between your new recycling cart and your garbage cart and yard bags so that the truck arm has room to grab and dump the carts.

·         The recycling sticker on the cart lists what can be recycled, or go to www.mwatoday.com for a more complete listing.

·         If your pick up is missed, please call 24-GREEN (244-7336).
