Residential Recycling Services

Santaguida Sanitation/Ritch Refuse participates in two different methods of recycling Dual Stream Recycling and Single Stream Recycling. Each town participates in a different method of recycling to fit the towns’ needs and should be followed by the specific guidelines set fourth by your town ordinance. Proper waste separation and recycling separation isn’t just good for the environment, it’s the State and local law!

Single Stream Recycling

Single Stream Recycling (SSR) refers to a system combining an expanded list of household recyclables including paper fibers, plastics, metals, and other containers mixed together in one collection bin/truck. Single Stream Recycling (SSR) is extremely efficient when done correctly and allows the participant to recycle a wide range of items which were mixed in the refuse in the past. Experiences may vary but, if done properly citizens have seen their total waste go to 60% recyclables and 40% trash by volume. Recyclables can be put in one large receptacle with a lid, which means no more sorting and separating. The expanded list of recycled items means less waste at the transfer facility which cuts the towns operating cost and increases efficiency.

Dual Stream Recycling

Dual-Stream Recycling is a program that collects fiber products separately from other mixed commingled (glass, plastics, aluminum) recyclables. Recyclable materials other than paper are disposed of together in a mixed-recyclables container. These items are collected by your refuse hauler then sorted at your local Transfer Station then passed on to the vendor to be processed. Residents are asked to recycle glass, plastic and aluminum containers in one container and mixed paper products (office paper, newspaper, magazines direct mail, etc.) tied together in a bundle. Corrugated cardboard, fiberboard and paperboard should be broken down and tied together in a neat stack and place by the other recyclable materials.

Santiguida Sanitation/Ritch Refuse provides back-door recycling pickup for all of our residential customers. Back-door service refers to; the customer doesn’t have to bring their recycling containers to the curb. Instead, our well trained and experienced drivers collect your recycling debris from inside or in front of the homeowners’ garage, side of the house, or wherever the designated location is instructed by the customer.

Santaguida Sanitation/Ritch Refuse utilizes the following collection methods for residential Recycling pickup, Manual Collection – utilizing customer provided containers lifted manually and Semi-Automated Collection – 65 and 96 gallon toters that are lifted by our refuse trucks. Recycling collection services are provided to individual residences on a scheduled weekly basis. Recycling is picked up either once or twice per week with the other services provided weekly as per customer’s request. We ask the customers that put their refuse outside for collection to put their containers outside the night before to ensure definite pickup. For some customers recycling collection service may include a combination of services in one pickup, such as, refuse and dual stream recycling or refuse and single stream recycling.

Please note the Town does not supplying any refuse or recycling receptacles. We have Semi-Automated 65 and 96 gallon toters available. If you are interested please contact our office staff to arrange for delivery by calling 203-869-6987 or clicking here.
