Recycling Gets Easier in Vienna

From the Town of Vienna website:

http://www.viennava.gov/Town_Services/trash.htm#recyclables

MIXED RECYCLABLES AND NEWSPAPER: These items can now be placed together in the same container for recycling, and do not need to be separated. Residents may use plastic bins, clean trash cans, or clear plastic bags for containing recyclable materials. If a trash can type container is used, it should be clearly labeled and preferably blue.

These items will be collected on the second day of the scheduled trash route. (See section on "Routes" above.) Recyclables shall be placed at the curb or edge of pavement by 7:00 A.M. on collection day (but not earlier than 6:00 P.M. the preceding evening) where they will be easily and safely accessible.

Recyclables include, but are not limited to:
Newspapers (including all inserts)
Magazines and catalogs
Junk mail
Cardboard and paperboard boxes (including cereal boxes without liners)
Corrugate boxes
Computer printouts
Books (including paperbacks, textbooks, and hardbacks)
