It’s simple: we want to beautify our community by making it cleaner, safer and more sustainable.

Nobody wants to see trash scattered about in lawns and it’s unfair to expect someone else to clean it up.

Instead, the Can Fairy Curbside Recycling program asks to fill the box, not the lawn — help better our neighborhood while preventing pollution.

Plus, participants win prizes every week!

fill the box, not the lawn.

Sign up to fill the box, not your lawn

How it works: Sign-up. We will deliver your recycle box. You fill it up and set it out on Monday morning & we will pick it up!

When: Collections happen every week on Mondays!

Bonus: Each week you'll get a chance to win prizes!

Anyone who lives on between 11th and Lane, east of High St.

First — you’re saving the turtles.
Second — every time you have a clean collection (aka not filled with over 30% red solo cups. food waste, or other non-recyclable items) you get a chance at sweet prizes!
