Recycling

Kerman Recycling BrochureThe City of Kerman is joining in the effort to reduce our landfills with our co-mingled Recycling Carts (Grey Carts with Blue Lids). Using this cart will allow residents to help increase the efficiency of collection of recyclable materials and decrease the use of the landfill.

Glass food jars, beverage bottles, plastic containers, metal food and beverage containers, mixed paper and corrugated cardboard can all be mixed together in the 96 gallon GREY container with a medium BLUE lid marked “Recycling Only/Reciclar Solamente”. Residents are asked not to overload containers and to have them at curbside or in the alley before 6:00 am on your service day.
