Beginning July 1, 2012, the State requires each business in the City that generates four or more cubic yards of waste and recyclables per week and multi-family customers with five or more dwelling units, to recycle. In order to assist its businesses and residents in meeting this requirement and to encourage everyone to recycle, the City has contracted with its franchised solide waste hauler, Consolidated Disposal Service (CDS), to provide recylcing services at no cost to customers. Customers are encouraged to contact CDS at (800) 299-4898 to obtain free recycling service and potentially save money on trash service. Customers may meet the State requirements by self-hauling recyclables or contracting with independent recyclers. The City encourages businesses and multi-family complexes to notify CDS of any independent recycling activities to assist the City in preparing its annual reports to the State.
