………………………………about your bin…………………………..

To prepare materials to place in the bin, please follow the Curbside Recycling Guide, located on front page.  Paper grocery sacks may be helpful and can be used if you wish.  Please be sure tin cans are not hidden in between the newspapers.  We recommend newspapers on the bottom and plastic, tin and glass on top to shield the papers.  Even if some of the papers get wet, they can still be recycled.

Place your bin at the curb on one side of your driveway.  Place your garbage can on the other side of your driveway.  This will ensure that recyclables are not confused with garbage.  Please have your recycling bin out by   7 a.m. on your collection day.   Any questions call Reliable Disposal at 1-800-677-1083 or 1-269-465-3773.

Pick days are as follows:  October 14, 2008; November 11, 2008; December 9, 2008.  If you choose to recycle Reliable will provide a calendar of future pick up dates…..

Thanks for participating in our effort to become GREEN!!!
