What Can Be Recycled?

Place all newspapers & magazines in the recycling bin provided. Magazine and Newspaper slicks are acceptable. No books or envelopes may be recycled. Any paper that is wet, or has been wet will not be recycled, but thrown away.

Rinse out all plastic bottles such as milk jugs and soda bottles. Other bottles with a #1, #2, or a #3 stamped on the bottle will also be collected. Please remove any caps or lids. Flatten the bottles as much a possible. No bottles still containing liquid will be accepted. Non-bottle plastics (such as margarine tubs, plastic buckets, etc.) are also not acceptable.

No light bulbs, drinking glasses, window glass, mirrors, auto glass, tempered glass, ceramics, or other nonfood or non-beverage containers are acceptable.
