1. Do I have to purchase a bin?
   You do not have to purchase a bin; you can pick up a free decal and use it on a container up to 40 gallons.  If you do use a decal, make sure the decal is facing the road so the driver can see it is recyclables.
2. What does a bin cost?
   There are two bin sizes for sale.  The 24 gallon bin costs $13.00 and the 18 gallon bin costs $10.00.
3. What if I have more to recycle than what a bin can hold?
   You can have more than one container, or use a paper bag beside the recycling container to hold all the recyclables.
4. Do I have to separate my recyclables?
   No.  This is single stream recycling so you can put everything in one container.
