Waste After the Holidays

What Goes Where?

After Christmas, what do I do with all of the cardboard,

wrapping paper and old electronics?!

• Cardboard boxes can be flattened and placed in your curbside recycling cart. If they don't all fit, you can bring them to one of our Drop-Off Locations.

• Wrapping paper can be recycled as long as it isn't shiny, metallic, or glittery. Bows and ribbons cannot.

• If you got a new device or gadget for Christmas, don't throw your old electronics away. Bring them to one of our Drop-Off Locations to be recycled and disposed of properly.
