Recycle Route B Collection Week Announced for South of 3rd Ave N Residents, New Containers Available

The Solid Waste Public Works Division has announced that Recycle Route B, covering the area south of 3rd Ave N, will have its collection during the week of April 8, 2024. Residents are encouraged to mix all recyclable materials in the provided tan container for bi-weekly collection. To receive a recycling container, residents can register online at www.watertownsd.us or pick up a form at the City Hall Finance Office.

The City of Watertown provides an additional Tan 95 gallon Single Stream recycling container upon request. Participation in the residential recycling program is voluntary, with apartment building involvement decided by the manager. The city retains ownership of the containers.

To ensure the recycling program's efficiency and cost-effectiveness, residents are advised to only set out full containers and to exclude glass, which is not recycled and can cause injuries. Lids and caps from plastic containers should be discarded as they do not collapse and occupy extra space in the recycling bales.

Residents should place their containers out after 5 PM the night before collection day. Collection begins at 5:00 AM, with no set time for specific areas. Late containers will not be collected. Containers should be removed from the parkway or boulevard on the same day following collection.

The City of Watertown has over 7,000 active Tan 95 gallon recycling containers throughout the city. For more information or to request a container, visit www.watertownsd.us. The city appreciates residents' support of the single stream curbside recycle program.
