Recycling
If you are a Teller County Waste customer, all materials that are recyclable can be placed in a separate, marked bag and set out with your normal trash pickup. Up to two 33 gallon bags per customer per pickup are allowed.
THESE ARE THE ONLY ITEMS THAT ARE TAKEN:
- Aluminum Cans
- Brown Paper Bags
- Empty Aerosol cans
- Glass bottles & jars
- Junk Mail & Magazine
- Newspapers
- Office Paper
- Paperboard (cereal & tissue boxes)
- Plastics ( #1-7) ONLY
- Tin Cans
All recyclables must be bagged and securely tied tightly. Place Recycle bags at lest 3-4 feet away from normal trash containers. With a note or tag on the bag stating “RECYCLE”
We ARE NOT taking any CARDBOARD, PHONE BOOKS, STYRAFOAM, PLASTIC BAGS ( EXAMPLE: WALMART,SAFEWAY,CITY MARKET GROCERY PLASTIC BAGS)
If these items are found in the recycle bags we will be giving you one courtesy call to notify you that you are not allowed this. If it continues then we will have to flag your card with a NO RECYLCE PICK ALLOWED on it.
Simply bag your recyclables and place them in close proximity (within 3-4 feet) of your normal trash. Our drivers have been trained to know that these bags are recyclables.
