The law requires that everyone recycle either curbside by using the TOTER system or by bringing acceptable materials to the Recycling Center.  Please be advised this is not a facility for trash disposal.  Please obey the rules and regulations.  

The Recycling Center is open Tuesday and Thursday from 8AM to 4PM and Saturday from 8AM to 12 Noon.  You must arrive to the Recycling Center early enough to exit the gates prior to closing time.
The Recycling Center is closed on holidays.  Villagers will be required to provide proof of residency to enter the facility and no commercial vehicles/ rental trucks (U-Haul’s) will be permitted.
