Single Stream Recycling

Public Announcement

Mayor James J Haggerty is pleased to introduce Single Stream Recycling to the residents of Kingston beginning Wednesday, February 1, 2012.  All recyclable materials currently collected by Kingston can now be placed in one container for curbside collection on a weekly basis. Single Stream Recycling will be collected on the same schedule as that of our current comingled program. Please note that mixed paper products will no longer be collected on a bi-weekly basis as they are part of the new Single Stream Recycling Program. Please refer to Kingston’s 2012 Recycling Calendar for more details.

Seasonal Ordinances

Here is a friendly reminder of some of our seasonal ordinances that keep Kingston clean and a great place to live.

Leaves: It is illegal to deposit leaves into the streets. Please respect your fellow neighbors and our community. Excess leaves in the streets block storm drains, which may cause flash flooding during heavy rain events. Excess leaves in the streets also create dangerous conditions for vehicular and pedestrian traffic. If you see someone depositing leaves into the streets, please call our Police Department at 287-6911.

Dog Waste: Kingston is a dog friendly community. Our long, tree-lined streets are excellent for walking your dog. Municipal ordinance requires dogs to be leashed and owners of dogs to carry waste collection devices at all times. Please clean up after your dog.

We thank you for keeping Kingston a great place to live.
