• newspaper, magazines, junk mail, mixed paper
• glass bottles (clear/brown/green)
• steel and aluminum cans
• #1 and #2 plastic containers.

The Town of North Manchester provides one container per household for recyclable materials. If you have more materials than the container will hold, you may place paper/cardboard in a paper bag or cardboard box.

Please prepare recyclable materials before placing them out for collection:

• rinse and flatten (if possible) metal cans and plastic bottles
• rinse glass bottles
• flatten cardboard
• remove all caps, lids, pumps and neck rings.

Please place food waste in plastic garbage bags, inside clean, watertight plastic or metal 20-32 gallon containers with tight-fitting lids. Yard waste (green clippings, tree branches, hedge trimmings, garden waste) will be collected if properly containerized (subject to the 3-container limit). Tree branches must be cut into 3-foot lengths.

Trash and recycling containers must be placed for collection at ground level on your property. Containers must be on or adjacent to the curb, and not more than six feet from the side of the street or alley from which collection will be made.

Recyclable materials will be picked up during the first and third full week of the month.
