Recycling at RDS

For over twenty years, RDS provided free recycling service, electing to swallow the cost as part of our mission. Since 2018, recycling is no longer inexpensive, so we have implemented a flat fee for non-commercial customers. 

Recycling Fees and Service

While it still costs more to properly find new homes for recyclable goods, RDS charges a flat $15.00 fee, not including tax, for residential recyclable goods (with a maximum limit of 200 pounds).

As of February 2026, the following household recycling items are accepted. Materials may be separated and placed into individual containers or commingled and placed into a SINGLE-STREAM RECYCLING container, based on customer preference.

• Cardboard

• Mixed Paper - includes magazines, phone books, paper and hardback books, junk mail, wrapping paper, and cereal boxes.

• Newspaper

• Aluminum Cans

• Tin Cans

• Glass in Bottle or Jar form - clear, brown, and green glass only. NO WINDOW GLASS or ceramics.

• Plastics - bottles and tubs (yogurt containers), numbers 1, 2, & 5. NO plastic bags/film.

NOTE: The above items must be rinsed/cleaned.

Any loads over 200 pounds will be charged additional recycling fees as applicable (a $15 fee for every 200 pounds).

IF YOU ARE ALSO unloading additional non-recyclable material, then residential recycling is included in your standard $15.00 minimum fee that is charged for the weight of your materials (please see disposal price list for more details).
