Recycling Change Takes Effect Friday
SINCLAIRVILLE - Beginning Friday the recycling in Sinclairville will be changed to "Zero Sort." Casella Waste Management will be collecting recyclables every other week beginning Friday.

Acceptable items to recycle are: cardboard, clean boxboard, office paper, magazines, newspapers, junk mail, envelopes, file folders, computer paper, card stock, aluminum cans, tin cans, glass bottles and jars, and plastic bottles Nos. 1-7. Items that cannot be put out for zero sort are food waste, styrofoam, plastic bags, printer cartridges, cellphones, batteries, computers or other electronics and glassware.
