Remember to always leave your recycling items loose. Please do not use a plastic bag to collect your recyclables, rather just place them loosely in your cart. Plastic bags can get caught in the machinery which can cause damage to the machinery or a delay in production. Additionally, when there are two or more items connected to each other, they cannot be recycled, even if they’re all recyclable.
Recycle right - recycle smart. Recycling Tips:
- Leave your recyclables loose, rather than in plastic bags.
- When in doubt, toss it out!
- Empty and rinse all recyclables.
