Your recycling must be placed in a clear or blue transparent bag to be collected.

• Do not place your recyclables in plastic garbage bags or shopping bags.

Some additional tips:

• Cardboard boxes must be flattened before being placed in a recycling bag.

• Put plastic grocery bags, plastic newspaper bags, plastic wrapping and thin plastics into one tied plastic bag, then put the tied bag in a recycling bag.

• Separate rolled newspapers from plastic bags and elastics. Flatten the newspaper and put it in a recycling bag and reuse the elastic or put it in the garbage.

• Separate cardboard beverage cases from plastic wrapping. Put both items in a recycling bag.

• Create more space in your recycling bags by:

  • Flattening plastic bottles and beverage cartons.

  • Folding aluminum trays.

  • Flattening small cardboard boxes
