ROME GARBAGE The City of Rome is proud to introduce its brand new garbage and recycling program. Each household and commercial building within the refuse district will be receiving two waste and recycling containers: one for bagged garbage only and the other for single stream recyclables. All refuse and recyclables set out for collection must be placed in these designated carts. Additional recycling containers may be utilized if necessary. The carts are city-owned and are to remain with the associated property. Each cart is equipped with an RFID tag that is registered to each address. Please follow the instructions below regarding proper use of carts, garbage, and recycling requirements.

• Sharps Do not set out with your recyclables! Place used needles, syringes and lancets in a puncture-proof plastic container like a laundry deter-gent bottle with a top. When full, tape lid/top shut, label as “sharps” and place in the garbage.

• Garbage• Plastic Bags• Styrofoam• Ceramics • Window Glass • Drinking Glasses• Household Hazardous Waste

Items That Should Not Be Placed In Your Recycling Bin• Lawn & Yard Waste• Batteries• Electronics• Light Bulbs• Paint Cans

ROME RECYCLINGNo Bags, Mix All Recyclables Together

Maletas, no mezcle todos los reciclables

HERE’S HOW IT WORKS« A l l Recyc lable I tems Mix Together In Recyc l ing Car t For Col lect ion «

1. All recyclable items—paper, plastic, metal, and glass—need to be mixed together loosely in recycling cart.

2. Recyclables must be placed in your designated cart labeled “RECYCLING ONLY,” with no plastic bags.

3. Lids and labels should be left on recyclable containers. Containers should be empty and rinsed before recycling.

4. Do not place recyclables in plastic bags for collection. No string, no trash, or green waste allowed.
