- Recycling is currently on a voluntary basis in
the Village. Recycling bins are available for purchase ($5.00)
at the Bradley Village Hall.
- All your recyclable items will go in these recycling.
You should have one bin for paper (newspapers, magazines,
etc.) and one bin for all other recyclables (glass, plastic,
metal). You must separate the different types of paper items
in separate stacks within the one bin. Glass, metal and plastics
can all be mixed within the recycling bin. NOTE: you can also
bundle all newspapers, etc. with string or in brown paper grocery
bags on top of your one bin of mixed recycling.

the recycling bins out with your other trash. The garbage
company (United Disposal) will pick them up on your regular garbage
day!

OTHER RECYCLING DO'S & DON'TS
- Suggestions: rinse containers with
hot water; okay to leave labels on. The recycling bins
will not be emptied if there are any non-recyclable items
in them. Don't put grass clippings or other yard waste
in your recycling
bins or with your regular garbage. Leave the clippings
on your lawn; they feed the earth & you
make a healthier lawn.
