Important: We reserve the right to
leave unsorted materials behind.
Please note:
Different types of recyclable materials can be placed in the same
container as long as they are in separate bags.
Example: A tote can be filled with a
bag of magazines, a bag of newspapers, a bag of mixed paper, a bag
of glass bottles, and a bag of pop bottles.
Here are the items we accept and
instructions on how to sort them:
