JAMESTOWN IS A MANDATORY RECYCLING COMMUNITY
RECYCLING IS THE LAW!
- Garbage and recyclables must be placed at the curb no earlier than 6:00 p.m. the evening before your scheduled pickup. All garbage must be contained in bags. Loose garbage will not be collected.
- There is a 40 pound weight limit per garbage bag and/or recycling container.
- All recyclables must be placed in yellow recycling container. (Overflow quantities may be placed in additional open containers next to the yellow one.)
- Remove and throw away all lids and caps from glass jars and plastic bottles and jars.
- Residents are allowed to dispose of one (1) item (weighing a maximum of 40 lbs. and easily handled by one person) per week such as a child's riding toy, lamp, etc.)
- Colored Glass may be discarded in the trash. Do not place colored glass at the curb.
- Corrugated cardboard consists of two pieces of heavy paper (usually brown) with a wavy layer in between. Moving and mailing boxes are usually corrugated cardboard NOT cereal and shirt boxes. Corrugated cardboard will be picked up at the curb. Cardboard should be flattened, folded and placed in the yellow container, or if too large, placed in a cardboard box next to the yellow container.
