REFUSE / RECYCLING

Recycling

Recyclable materials are collected once each week on the designated refuse collection day. The Town of Union provides each refuse customer with a recycling container, at no charge. Refuse recycling pick-up begins at 6:00 AM.  To be serviced, materials, in a recycling container, must be out behind the curb by 6:00 AM on collection day.  Recyclables that do not fit in the recycling container may be put in brown paper bags, labeled recycling and placed next to the recycling container.  Corrugated cardboard must be flattened and tied in manageable bundles.

Households are required to recycle:

  • newspapers and magazines;
  • glass and metal cans;
  • plastic containers;
  • corrugated cardboard and single layer cardboard;
  • gray, brown and non-waxy white boxes;
  • "gable-top" cartons and drink boxes;
  • telephone books;
  • magazines and books.
