Put the yellow-covered recycle can by the road Tuesday night after 5 pm. If in doubt, call Collier County at 239-252-2380 and press 2 for recycling, trash and irrigation. What can be recycled in the normal way by putting in black plastic bags inside the yellow covered recycle bin: Paper: Newspapers, phone books, soft cover books, magazines, catalogs, junk mail, paper bags, cardboard, cereal boxes w/o plastic. Flatten and bundle large cardboard boxes into pieces 3’x3’ or less. Cans & glass: aluminum cans, steel cans, tin cans, all plastics #1-#7, clear glass, brown glass, green glass, egg cartons, styrofoam trays (not blocks or peanuts). Special pickup: Call Collier County, 239-252-2380 and press 2 for recycling. 48 hours notice required. Be prepared to give them a list of what you want picked up. They will pick up a sofa, mattress, refrigerator, appliances, tires, electronics, that type of thing. They have to know what size truck to send. It is usually the same day as trash and recycle pickup (Wednesday morning) so for a special pickup, call them by the Friday before, and put the items out by the street Tuesday evening after 5 pm, or before 8 am Wednesday morning. Electronics: Keep electronics in a separate container since disposal is different for these. They will pickup computers, printers, televisions, stereo receivers, batteries of all kinds, CD players, tape recorders, telephones, that kind of thing. What they don't recycle: Styrofoam blocks, styrofoam peanuts, hoses, electrical wire, window glass, mirrors, pots or pans, hard cover books. Either put these in the trash or, if re-usable (like pots, pans and hard cover books) take them to Goodwill or the Salvation Army.
