HOW TO RECYCLE:
- All liquid / food containers need to be empty
- Quickly rinse-off food residue
- All items should be clean and dry (or mold may occur)
- Labels do not have to be removed
- No need to crush cans or plastic bottles
- Nothing smaller than a credit card (small items are difficult to process)
- Put plastic caps back on plastic bottles
- Flatten cardboard boxes
- Do not put recyclables in plastic bags – dispose of them loosely in the container.
WHAT TO RECYCLE:
- GLASS bottles & jars
- ALUMINUM, TIN & STEEL cans and lids (aerosol cans too, but only if completely empty – remove plastic nozzle & cap)
- PLASTIC bottles, jugs, jars & food tubs (put plastic caps back on) #1-7
- PAPER and CARDBOARD, mail, newspaper & magazines (this also includes cartons for juice / broth / milk)
- NO Plastic Bags or Film Gather your plastic bags and plastic films separately. Think Stretchy Plastics = grocery bags, zip-lock, dry-cleaning bags, bubble-wrap, along with films around water bottles and paper products. Bring to your local grocery store, Target or Walmart.
- NO Used Paper Products such as paper towels, tissues, napkins, plates, cups, etc.(these items can be composted)
