- All of your recyclables can be mixed together. No sorting is required.
- To ensure obtaining the maximum capacity of each container, cardboard should be flattened and plastic bottles, aluminum cans, and steel cans should be crushed, if possible.
- DO NOT tie or bind any recyclables(s).
- No plastic bags whatsoever, including water softener and wood pellet bags showing the recycling symbol. Plastic bags are detrimental to the sorting equipment. If you collect your recyclables in plastic bags, you must remove the recyclables from the plastic bags before depositing in the containers. Collection of recyclables in a rigid, reusable container is recommended.
- Recyclables (plastic, glass, steel, aluminum) should be empty and rinsed clean. Remove all plastic caps and discard. Metal lids should be removed but kept with the recyclables. Recyclable paper should be dry and clean.
