Recycling Tips
- Empty clean recyclables out of bags and boxes and put them loose in your cart
so that they can be easily identified and sorted at the recycling center. Clean
paper bags and cardboard boxes are recyclable. Just put them in your cart after you
empty them. Recyclables in plastic bags may be mistaken for garbage at the sorting
center.
- NO plastic bags in recycling.
(Reuse or recycle at grocery stores) - Plastic bags get caught in
conveyor belts at the recycling
center.
-
NO shredded paper in recycling.
Because of its size, shredded paper is difficult to sort from
other recyclables.
-
Empty, clean, and loose. These three
words can greatly improve the quality of recyclables placed in your cart. You can do
this by rinsing out recyclables and placing empty containers directly in your cart
loose, not in a plastic bag. Learn more about how you can Recycle Right - Click

-
Extra Recycling. Put recycling that
doesn't fit in your cart in recycling bins, cardboard boxes (limit 2'x2'x2'), or a
32-gallon can with handles marked "recycling".
