Daily Recyclables

Paper & Cardboard  

  • Flatten cardboard boxes to save space in your recycling bin and make life a bit easier for our collection experts.
  • Remove any plastic wrapping or styrofoam packaging from any cardboard you are recycling.
  • Avoid getting paper products wet. This can reduce their recyclability.
  • Don't put shredded paper in your recycling bin. This can jam recycling equipment and contaminate other recyclables.
  • Keep recycling paper and cardboard as clean and dry as possible.
  • Don’t worry about the sticky tape from the packaging unless it is excessive. 
  • Be sure to remove any wrapping from magazines or newspapers.
  • Cut out food stains from oil, cheese, or other ingredients before recycling.
