Put your recycling in the green recycling cart.

General Guidelines

Only put the correct paper, plastic containers, metal, and glass in the recycling cart.
- We accept plastics #1 – #7 plastic containers, except some plastic cups.

Recyclables must be clean, empty, and dry before you place them into the recycling cart.
Do not bag your recyclable items. Put items loose in the recycling cart.
