  • 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.

  • GLASS bottles & jars
  • ALUMINUM, TIN & STEEL cans and lids (aerosol cans too, but only if completely empty – remove plastic nozzle & cap)
