RECYCLE
– Cut Your Trash In Half |
How to
Prepare Recyclables?
Aluminum, steel
(tin), and bi-metal food and beverage cans
– Wash cans of all food residue, remove paper labels and smash
flat.
Glass
– Wash glass bottles and jars and remove all lids and rings.
Labels may stay on. Sort by color (clear, green, brown). Window
glass, Pyrex, ceramics, glassware, light bulbs and mirrors are not
recyclable, as they are made of a different chemical composition.
Scrap metal
– Many different types of metal can be recycled. This includes
iron, galvanized metal, copper, brass, fence wire, aluminum siding,
and old pots and pans.
Plastics
– May be mixed, but must be from the following categories:
A.
Milk or water jugs
B.
Soda bottles
C.
Detergent, bleach, softeners, etc.
D.
Heavy plastics imprinted with "1," "2" or HDPE
Newspapers
– If it comes in the newspaper, it can be recycled with the
newspaper (unless it’s a sample made of plastic or other
material). Place in paper bags.
Magazines and mail
order catalogs – Place
in paper bags.
REMINDER
– NO LIDS ON ANYTHING – RINSE OUT EVERYTHING
