YELLOW RECYCLING CONTAINERS FOR SALE

The Board of Public Utilities Solid Waste Division has begun selling additional yellow recycling containers for $6.50 each at its 92 Steele Street Business Offices.

Every residential dwelling unit in the city was provided with one uniform container to place their recyclables at the curb each week. The initial free containers were purchased utilizing a grant from New York State to stimulate more BPU customers to recycle. They have also made it easier for sanitation workers to identify recyclables in the early morning pickup hours.

The Board decided to purchase additional containers to sell in response to the requests of its customers. Many people have requested to purchase more containers so that they can have one for each category of recyclable.
