Longmont upgrades to single stream Nov. 3

The upgrade to Single Stream Recycling will begin Nov. 3. Single stream recycling will allow you to place all your recyclable items into one commingled container.
How will this help you? You will not have to sort your recyclables that can be collected curbside. The items that you will be able to place in your recycle bin once all bins are converted and ready are: newspaper, magazines, junk mail, brown paper bags, paperboard (such as tissue boxes and cereal boxes), phone books (no neon paper please), corrugated cardboard, aluminum, tin and steel cans, No. 1 through No. 7 plastic bottles, jugs and tubs, milk and juice containers and glass jars and bottles.

Please remember, do not put your recyclables in any plastic bags when you put them in the container as the bags are not accepted at curbside and plastic lids and caps are not recyclable so please remove them prior to recycling.

Beginning Nov. 3, crews will be removing the dividers and replacing them with a single blue lid on all recycling containers throughout the city. The lid replacements are scheduled to occur on your regular recycle collection day. Please leave your recycling container curbside all day on your collection day during the month of November. Crews will follow behind the recycle collection vehicles beginning at 7 a.m. and working to change out the lids until 7 p.m.

As the new lids are placed on the carts, crews will leave an informational brochure and a recycling collection calendar under the lid. Specific change out dates and schedules for all neighborhoods will be posted on the Web site and also in the Times-Call newspaper. Collection of recycle bins will occur every other week. For more information on this new enhanced recycling program, go to www.ci.longmont.co.us and search for "recycling" or call Public Works at 303-651-8416.
