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 here: Recycling List

2. How will it work?

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. From there it is taken to the Material Recovery and Transfer Facility.
