1. What is general recycling?

General recycling is a mandatory program for curbside collection of recyclable materials that allows West Point City to save natural resources, energy, and landfill space, reduce pollution, and protect our environment. Recyclable materials include:

• Paper
• Newspapers
• Magazines
• Plastics (1 and 2)
• Cardboard
• Aluminum and tin cans
• Other similar items

See a more detailed list of acceptable and unacceptable items in the Recycling Program Brochure (PDF).

The recycling can will be picked up every other week on the same day as your regular trash day, but by a different truck. All services will be provided by the City’s current hauler, Ace Disposal.

3. How much will it cost?

In order for the City to cover costs, a general recycling can will cost $4.75 per month.
