Dear Resident:
The Macon Bibb County Solid Waste Department has extended the recycling program and as a result of this extension, your residence has been chosen to participate in the Macon Bibb County Single Stream Recycling Project. This project is a simple and environmentally friendly approach to recycling in which all recycled materials goes into the new 65 gallon blue roll-off cart.
Today, the Macon Bibb County Solid Waste Department has delivered and registered a new 65 gallon blue recycle roll-off container to your property. The collection will occur on the first (1st) and third (3rd) Thursday of every month.
Below is a list of clean recyclable materials that will be collected:
 Clean paper, mail
 Flattened cardboard
 Newspaper, magazines, catalogs
 Phonebooks, paperback books
 Wrapping paper (No foil or ribbons)
 Plastic bottles & jugs (no caps or lids)
 Clean plastic dairy tubs (Yogurt, margarine, etc.)
 Aluminum, steel and tin-plated cans
 Glass
It is imperative that you place only the above items in the recycling container. Failure to comply will result in discontinuing your recycling service.
If you currently have a small blue recycling bin, place it at curbside, and we will remove it from your property.
Sincerely,

Larry Dunning
Assistant Solid Waste Director
