The Paper Cup Glow Up - All Paper Cups
You may be wondering what we mean by “all paper cups.” We promise it’s not a trap! We mean this literally: All cups made of paper – like cups used for fountain drinks, ones you find at the bubblah, hot beverage cups, even paper cups labeled "compostable" – are now accepted in the recycling. Just make sure they're empty!
Paper cups are sorted into "mixed paper," a grade of paper that also includes junk mail, magazines, copy paper, and paperboard.
Foam cups, straws, and hot cup lids should still be trashed!!
Empty cardboard pizza boxes are recyclable. Place your empty pizza box in the paper / cardboard dumpster. And, you can add paper cups as well. Yes to paper cups! Lids, straws, and foam cups still go in the trash.
Lights - Christmas and String Lights are accepted!
Hazardous Materials - we accept fluorescent batteries, car and truck batteries, and mercury containing devices such as thermostats, thermometers, switches.

Properly Dispose of Paint
Latex paint may be discarded in trash, but it needs to be dried out first. If you have a small amount of paint residue, you can dry it out by leaving it in the sun. For larger quantities of paint, you can use kitty litter or a commercial paint hardener to dry it out. Oil paint cannot be disposed of in the trash, so you'll need to find a disposal or drop-off site using the following tools.
