Glass Recycling Program Update! Due to the positive response to the City’s new Glass Recycling Program, Advanced Disposal (the City’s waste services provider) is extending glass recycling pickup to include the first Tuesday of each month for the next two months! As usual, please have your glass recycling totes set curbside on the first Monday of each month. However, if your glass tote hasn’t been emptied by the end of the day Monday, please leave your tote curbside, and it will be emptied on Tuesday. This procedure will be in place for the months of February and March, 2017. Then, beginning in April 2017, glass recycling pickup day will resume its regular schedule of only the first Monday of each month. Thank you for recycling your glass!
