Earth Angel

The Earth Angel Recycling Program is the city’s curbside recycling service. It is provided free of charge as part of the services provided by the Solid Waste Department. Recycling is the best way to protect the environment from overburdened landfills while reducing costs. By taking part in the Earth Angel Recycling Program, citizens have the opportunity to help ensure a healthy future for their community.

The Earth Angel truck collects the following materials: aluminum cans; brown paper grocery bags; corrugated cardboard; plastic, grades No. 1 and No. 2.; newsprint; telephone books; and leaves, grass and small brush.

The city will furnish the container and a calendar of scheduled collection days. The container should be placed curbside prior to

6 a.m. for pickup. Call 321-6911 to get involved.
