Recycling Bins
The City has been working on replacing the small orange recycle bins we have been using for curbside recycling with larger roller blue bins. As this change is happening, the City is collecting the orange bins left at the curb once the blue bins have been delivered. If a resident would like to keep their orange bin for in-home recycling once the blue bin is delivered, then they should no longer use them at the curb.
Some residents who have had their orange bins retrieved by the City want them back. We are working on a way to have residents easily pick up an orange bin for in-house use from among the inventory of bins we retrieve. I will keep you posted.

We, too, have been anxiously waiting for the new bins! Our orange one is over-flowing! We're in the 1600 block of Main Street!

Thanks for the update! Is there a schedule for who gets new cans when? We're very excited to get a rolling can (it'll make our Sunday night garbage ritual much easier). We're in the 1700 block of Oakton.
Thanks again for the good news!
