Single Stream Recycling

Windsor Sanitation now offers single stream recycling as well as hand sorted pickup. Single stream allows customers to place all recyclables, unsorted, into one cart, which is picked up in the same fashion as our automated trash carts. Place BLUE recycling carts at the curbside by 7 a.m. on scheduled collection day.
