Plastic bags (grocery, newspaper, etc. – no black or brown bags) that are clean and dry should be placed inside a clear or transparent bag and tied shut; full bag should be no larger than a basketball.  Plastic items that are not recyclable include: formed Styrofoam, packing peanuts and oil bottles.

METALS:

Newspaper, magazines, office paper, phone books, paper milk and juice cartons and junk mail should be placed loose in the recycling bin.  Gift wrapping paper (non-foil type) is also recyclable.  Tissue or paper towels, food and candy wrappers are not recyclable.

CARDBOARD:

All cardboard boxes including paperboard (cereal boxes, etc..) are recyclable.  Please flatten boxes; pieces should be no larger than 3 feet by 3 feet.  Wax and plastic coated cardboard are not recyclable.

Drivers look for the recycling bins to determine if a stop is needed. 

Recyclables may be mixed in clear or transparent bags and placed in bins.

Please rinse containers!

Preparing recyclables correctly is important for the Recycling Center automated single-stream sorting process.  Proper preparation ensures that recyclables will not be landfilled, helping keep costs down.
