Starting this week the new burgundy recycle cart is to be used in addition to the green garbage cart. And the good news is the Town of Collierville will pick up both on your same scheduled sanitation collection day.
The larger, wheeled cart will hold bigger pieces of cardboard, more paper, plastic and aluminum, plus the cart lid will keep rain and weather from letting items blow away.
The smaller bin can no longer be used, but you can keep it if you want. If not, just leave it curbside for pick up and proper disposal by the Town.
Acceptable recycle items are: aluminum cans, metal food & beverage cans, glass bottles & jars, milk & juice cartons, plastic bottles & jugs #1-7 (w/ lids), cereal & food boxes, wide-mouth plastic containers, mixed paper, newspaper, office paper, & junk mail paper, hardcover books, magazines, phone books, catalogs, aluminum foil and trays, rigid plastics, cardboard boxes, and pizza boxes.
