Instructions For Recycling Containers

Gray Container-Aluminum/Metal Cans:  Pickup: First Wednesday of every month.  If pickup is missed, the containers will be picked up on the next assigned collection day, or you may take them to the Mesquite Landfill or the recycle bins located in the parking lots of Smith’s Food & Drug, El Rancho Market or Wal-Mart. Cans should be rinsed & paper labels removed. (No garbage or other materials in the containers).

Blue Container-Newspaper: Pickup:  Third Wednesday of every month.  If pickup is missed, the containers will be picked up on the next assigned collection day, or you may take them to the Mesquite Landfill or the recycle bins located in the parking lots of Smith’s Food & Drug, El Rancho Market, or Wal-Mart. Newspaper only; no magazines or other paper products. (No garbage or other materials in the containers).

For your information: Recycle bins are available at Smith’s Food & Drug, El Rancho Market & Wal-Mart for corrugated cardboard, plastic milk jugs (without caps), aluminum cans & newspapers.

If recycle bins are lost or stolen the property owner will be held responsible & will be billed $35.00 for each bin on their next solid waste bill.

Container(s) need to be placed in a clear area. The collection truck needs to be able to get within ten (10) feet of the container. The container should be placed away from cars, posts, fences, trees, etc. Those with two (2) containers need to place the containers three (3) feet apart from each other.

Your container(s) need to be brought to the public access road in front of your residence before 6:00 a.m. on your service day. We understand 6:00 a.m. is early for some people so we highly suggest you place your container(s) out in front of your residence the night prior to your service day. If the container(s) are not out in front of your residence, they cannot be picked up. If the container(s) are not in place prior to 6:00 a.m., Virgin Valley Disposal will not return for pickup.

Container(s) need to be on the edge of the asphalt street. (NOT ON THE SIDEWALK OR AGAINST THE CURB).

All recyclables should be placed inside the container with the lid closed. Use only the container(s) provided. The collection truck cannot handle other containers! Please do not set items next to the containers; extra (recyclable) items can be taken to the local drop-off locations for no extra charge.

You will be able to put more recyclables in the container(s) if you smash your cans and unroll your newspapers.

IMPORTANT!!! ARROW ON THE LID OF THE CONTAINER(S) MUST POINT TOWARDS THE STREET
