The best way to wrap up the holidays is to recycle the wrapping!
Recyclable paper includes wrapping, tissue and colored paper. You can also recycle cardboard packaging and boxes as well as any unwanted holiday cards, gift cards and envelopes. Other paper items that should be recycled are magazines, newspapers, phone books, notebook paper, folders and cereal boxes. We do not recycle ribbons or styrofoam material so please do not include that with your recycling materials.
Remember, unwanted consumer electronics such as DVD players, vcr’s, computers and computer monitors, radios, and speakers are recycled through DPW’s eCycling program. This service is free, and available year-round to citizens who drop them off at one of the five city sanitation yards.
