Recycling for peninsula Tega Cay and new Tega Cay will alternate Tuesdays.

Recycling
Recycled materials do not need to be sorted when placed in cart.
In your Signature Waste cart:
- Mixed paper, steel cans, aluminum cans & foil, plastic bottles, jars & jugs (keep the lids on), cardboard, and chipboard. The plastics that are recyclable are only those with a “neck” where the lid is smaller than the body.
Do not place plastic bags into your recycling carts or bag your recycling.
- Bagged aluminum cans can be brought to Fire Station 1 & 2 (1195 Stonecrest Blvd. & 7200 Tega Cay Dr.) this aids in raising funds for the MUSC Children’s Burn Unit.
