The Earth Angel Recycling Program, the city's curbside recycling service, is provided free of charge by the Solid Waste Department. "Recycling is the best way to protect the environment from overburdened landfills while reducing costs. By taking part in the Earth Angel Recycling Program, you have the opportunity to help ensure a healthy future for your community," a news release said.
No Solid Waste services will run on Monday due to the Martin Luther King Jr. holiday. Residential, Earth Angel and leaf/mulch services will run one day behind schedule beginning Tuesday; for example, Wednesday's service will run on Thursday.
