RECYCLING UPDATE on Cans and Aluminum from the Sac County Solid Waste Agency
CANS TO BE RECYCLED
All aluminum foil containers, tin food and beverage cans can be recycled.
Examples: aluminum or crumpled foil, foil pie plates, juice cans, canned fruit and vegetable cans and soup cans.
Lids and labels are okay. These are made into new cans.
NOTE!
Furniture, furnace filters, metal pots and pans, kitchen appliances and aluminum siding are NOT recyclable and will not be accepted. If you put something in your recycling that is garbage, your entire recycling bin may be excluded from pickup because it is then garbage.
NEW RECYCLING INFORMATION
Schaller Friends...we have a bit of new information to apply to our paper/cardboard recycling days:
1. We need to separate out only the CORRUGATED cardboard, which is generally your case-type cardboard boxes. ALL boxes MUST be broken down. You can just place your corrugated cardboard in one end of your rubber container and put the paper, newspaper, magazines, etc. and other box board (such as cereal boxes) in bags (paper or plastic is fine) in the rest of the container. Or you may tie bundles with twine or string. Do NOT put pizza boxes, waxed cardboard or any container with food residue in recycling, please. These are garbage. This is information from the landfill on how they will accept cardboard/paper products for recycling.
2. This next piece of information is not new but some are still not abiding by this rule. Please do NOT use garbage cans OR cardboard boxes to hold your recycling. Recycling set out in garbage cans will not be picked up. Paper products are extremely heavy and the guys have to lift recycling containers too high to safely do that with garbage cans...Same with cardboard boxes - don't use them. They are not safe or stable containers to lift over one's head. Use a rubber type container (they have handles or hand grips) that is not more than 15-18 inches deep. It's a good idea to use a container with a lid for rainy days. Paper/Cardboard set out that gets wet from rain becomes garbage and will not be picked up as recycling. Furthermore, it is the responsibility of the property owner to see that the wet recycling that becomes garbage is appropriately presented as such at the proper time. Do not leave garbage sitting out loose.
To recap...Break down ALL boxes. Separate corrugated cardboard from other thinner boxboard, paper, magazines, etc. And please remember to use a rubber style container with a handle/hand grips to put your recycling in for pickup.
Thank you to everyone. Recycling is a very helpful process to save on costs down the road. Your cooperation is sincerely appreciated! As always, please call City Hall if you have questions. 275-4742.

Recycling information:
The more you recycle, then less goes into the landfill. You can help hold down costs in the future by recycling everything you can. And you help the environment. It's a win-win situation.
SUGGESTIONS FOR RECYCLING MORE AND LANDFILLING LESS
Buy fewer disposable items to save money and resources.
Recycle plastic shopping bags at stores. Many larger stores have a bin at their entry where you can drop off
plastic shopping bags. Many grocery stores have these bins. If you don’t see one ask about it. Plastic bags ARE NOT ACCEPTED at the landfill.
When shopping take your own reusable shopping bags. Reusable shopping bags only costs about $1 a piece and
can be used over and over again.
Shredded office paper should be bagged separately.
Donate unwanted clothes, toys and household goods to a charitable organization. Check with the Community
Outreach and/or Goodwill in our area.
Compost your kitchen and garden waste at home. This could reduce your waste by 25% and fertilize your garden.
Buy products that have less packaging. This can be challenging but it is possible.
Reduce, Reuse, Recycle, Rebuy! Buy products made from recycled materials.
None of these things take a lot of time! Let’s all work together to recycle more and help protect our environment.

Be sure to call the City Clerk at 275.4742 and let us know if you have added or subtracted from your household numbers!
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
In Schaller, we do not have metered water, the water and sewer portion of the bill increases according to the number of people who live in a household. It is important that you keep city hall informed of any changes in the number of people living in your home.
The garbage and landfill rates are billed at the basic rate, the same for all homes. You are allowed three 33-gallon bags to be collected each week, each container not to exceed 40 pounds in weight. Any additional bags set out for collection must have a City tag attached. These tags cost $1 each and are sold in bundles of 10 at the city office. All of these costs are charged to offset the fees necessary to meet all the costs and requirements set forth to operate our water and sewer facilities, plus landfill fees. The City of Schaller pays a per pound fee for all the garbage we pick up and take to the county landfill. The garbage and landfill fees on the chart are set at the basic rate and are the same for all residential customers. Those that want more garbage collected than the basic fee covers pay for the extra bags by purchasing the tags.
