Recylcing is awesome!
Recycling is every Thursday, excluding holidays. Please have your items at the curb by 8:30 am. Please separate your aluminum, newspapers, and cardboard. Steel cans, glass bottles, and plastics can be placed in the same bag. Brooklyn Heights has become proactive in regards to recycling: we will also pick up your discarded washers, dryers, refrigerators, and other household goods.
