Recycling Transition Informational Meeting 3/21/2019 Kingston, NY

The City of Kingston will be switching to dual-stream recycling on April 1, 2019, changing from the current single-stream process of putting all recyclables in one tote. This means City residents will be receiving a new tote – blue with a yellow lid, and going forward, recycling will be separated into two totes.

Paper and cardboard will go into the new blue tote with yellow lid, and will be placed curbside every other week. Glass, plastic and metal will go into the current blue tote, and will be placed curbside the alternating week. Trash pickup will continue as normal. Businesses that currently receive municipal collection without brown or blue totes will also be switching to Dual Stream Recycling and should separate paper and cardboard in a separate bin from plastic, glass and metal when it is placed curbside.
