Personal Privacy Protection

Improperly disposing of electronics can put your personal information and private electronic data at risk – increasing the risk of identity theft and other harmful consequences. To protect your privacy, make sure you thoroughly wipe your hard drive before donating or disposing of your electronics. Simply deleting files is not enough; traces of your personal data remain unless you download dedicated software or bring your electronics to a licensed retailer.

Food Waste

Here's How To Do It:

  1. COLLECT your food waste in a countertop pail. Although not required, you may line your pail with a compostable bag - please no plastic or biodegradable bags. Compostable bags are available for purchase (roll of 25 bags for $3.00/roll). Most residents will fill the countertop pail with food waste 3-4 times per week.

  2. TRANSFER that food waste into the larger bin for weekly storage. This larger bin can also be used to transport the food waste to the Maxwell Avenue Recycling Center. Anything that holds around 5-6 gallons and has a lid will work. It is recommended that food storage bins be kept indoors - either in the house or in the garage.

  3. BRING your transportation bin to the Food Waste Recycling drop-off bins at the Maxwell Avenue Recycling Center to dispose of your food waste as often as needed.
