Recycling Procedures

Recycling Procedures

All recycling will only be picked up on Wednesdays, except as noted during holiday weeks. We utilize facilities that accommodate single-stream recycling which means all materials to be recycled can be put in the same container. Sanitation crews will pick up paper, cardboard, glass, plastic & cans from containers placed at curbside. Paper does not have to be bundled; however, it should be placed in a manner that does not allow it to blow around.  Cardboard boxes do not need to be crushed; boxes may be placed inside other boxes. Rinse out glass, plastic and tin cans prior to placing these items in the container to prevent rodent infestation and to avoid contaminating the recycling load. All recycling must be free of regular garbage or it will not be taken.

Please ignore any mailings from the Town of Oyster Bay as it relates to recycling procedures. The TOB does not provide recycling or sanitation services in Sea Cliff and has different procedures than we do in Sea Cliff.
