Recyclables, which should be placed in a designated red recycling bin, are picked up curbside on regular trash collection days.

Bins are available for $8 at the Utility Billing Office in Room 113 of Municipal Building.

Curbside recycling

These items can be recycled through Fairfield’s curbside program:

Glass - All glass food and drink containers or jars are accepted (colored or clear). Please discard caps and rinse out. No need to remove paper labels. Not presently accepted: Broken glass of any type, window glass, mirrors, light bulbs, drinking glasses/mugs or oven/cooking glassware (Pyrex).

Paper Products - Place newspapers, magazines, junk mail, mixed office paper, paper grocery bags, cereal boxes, catalogs and telephone books in a brown paper grocery sack (no plastic bags, please), then place inside bin, or — in case of rain— place under the bin. Boxes should be flattened and corrugated cardboard should be cut to a size no larger than three feet by three feet. Not presently accepted: Pizza boxes or cardboard products contaminated with grease or food residue.
