Curbside Residential Refuse and Recycling Collection

The Town of Shelby provides refuse collection weekly. On Monday, refuse is collected from mobile home parks. On Tuesday, refuse is collected from homes north of the Hwy 14/61 overpass. South of the overpass, collection is on Wednesday. Recyclables are collected on the same day as refuse, but every other week. Recyclables include: newspapers and magazines, cardboard, tin cans, clear and colored glass, plastic (No.'s 1 & 2 only) and aluminum cans. Newspapers, magazines and cardboard should be bundled separatly and placed next to or on top of the recycling bin to avoid contamination. Guidelines for refuse and recycling, including a collection calendar are available at the town hall. Replacement recycling bins are also available for $9.
