  • Recyclables should be separated into two piles. Paper & Cardboard should be placed together in one bin, while Containers (Plastic, Metal & Milk) should go in another.
  • All containers should be rinsed thoroughly and have the caps removed.
  • All cardboard boxes should be flatted – 5 or fewer can be placed under or between recycling bins.
