Save the Planet’s Resources – Recycle These Items
Your recycling protects our planet’s resources for the next generation. But, what to recycle can be confusing. This confusion leads to poor recycling habits. In fact, 25%-35% of the recycling stream is not recyclable, it’s contaminated. The contamination of “good” recyclables puts the entire recycling process at risk. With this simple guide, your recycling will continue to make a difference for our planet. After all, Basic Recycling is Better Recycling.™
How Do I Recycle Better?
Don’t Bag Your Recyclables
Bagged recyclables cannot be sorted. Please keep recycling items loose in your cart and keep all plastic bags out.
Rinse & Clean Recyclables
Soiled and wet recyclables can spoil an entire load of clean recyclables. Please empty contents and lightly rinse containers before recycling.
No Plastic Bags
Grocery bags, sandwich bags, and any type of film plastic cannot be recycled at sorting facilities.
