I want to use the drop off location in Yorktown for recycling. Do I need to separate recyclables?
Paper and cardboard have to be separate from "comingled" materials at the dropoff sites. There are two large containers on site. One is for the paper products (including small amounts of cardboard, various types of paper and paperboard - i.e. cereal boxes etc.) and the other is for the "co-mingled" materials (including plastic, glass, aluminum and steel cans.)
In additional to the items generally placed in your curbside containers, at our dropoff site on Goodwin Neck Road we also take large quantities of cardboard inside the bay area. Additional stations are outside for cooking oil, motor oil, antifreeze, and batteries. We also take tires for a small fee ($1.50 off the rim; $3.00 on the rim for regular vehicle tires.)
