Starting June 1 municipal and private recycling pick up services will have to begin accepting recyclable containers numbering 3 through 7 according to Westchester County law. This means that all containers, numbering 1 through 7 will be accepted for recycling throughout Westchester County.
Westchester County also recycles household chemicals, rechargeable batteries, plastic bags and expired medications through drop-off programs. Other household items that are unwanted but not unusable can be brought to charities, or can be given away through Westchester Countys Treasure Hunt program. Treasure Hunt is similar to the free portion of Craigs List.
Questions about the Countys new program can be answered by the Recycling Guide, on the Westchester County governments website.
