GARBAGE & RECYCLE PICKUP
Trash and recyclable items are picked up on Wednesday of every week by Waste Pro. All garbage must be bagged before placed in bins. Waste Pro will take up to 8 bags of garbage that exceed the capacity of your container. Bins should be placed at the street curb by 6:00 a.m. Bins should be removed from the curb by 7:00 p.m. the same day. Recycling of newspapers, aluminum cans, tins cans, plastic drink bottles and milk cartons is required of all City residents. Trash and recycling bins may be ordered through City Hall. The City does not offer yard waste pick up service. Residents are encouraged to recycle all yard debris by mulching and composting. A dumpster for large household items is available to all residents typically on the first Saturday of each month at the pool parking area. Large household items should be placed ONLY in the available dumpster.

REDUCE, REUSE, RECYCLE
The City of Mountain Park has a great recycling program. Everyone participates, and as a result, we keep a large volume of material out of landfills. Before you recycle, try to reduce the amount you recycle by reusing items to keep them out of the recycle stream.
Reduce the amount you recycle. Make wise packaging selections. Select products that are not wasteful in their packaging. Practice composting.
Reuse containers and products. Buy only what you need and use what you bought.
Recycle. As much as possible, buy products with recycled content.
Mattress Recycling
The Mattress Recycling Council estimates that Americans dispose of roughly 15 to 20 million mattresses every year. The average mattress takes up 40 cubic feet, which means that one year’s worth of discarded mattresses will occupy more than 132,000 square miles of landfill space. To cut down on waste and preserve landfill space, mattress owners in the U.S. are encouraged to get rid of their old mattresses using alternative means. This guide will feature some helpful tips for donating, recycling, reselling and reusing old or used mattresses.More Info
