YOUR HELP MAKES RECYCLING WORK EFFICIENTLY AND SUSTAINABLY
How you can help:
- Please make sure recyclables are free of contaminants such as food particles, liquids and tobacco.
- Breakdown your cardboard so that the container is as full as
possible when they retrieve it. A full load makes the trip the most
cost-effective for the recycling program.
- Please do not leave non-recyclables such as glass, electronics and trash for the recyclers to dispose of for you.
Recyclables:
- Cardboard (corrugated, paperboard, cardstock) NO PIZZA BOXES WITH
FOOD IN THEM, NO WAX CONTAINERS LIKE MILK CARTONS/JUICE BOXES
- Office paper (with staples ok)
- Plastics 1-7
