What Can I Recycle?
Commingled refers to a mixture of glass, plastic, and metal items that can be recycled together. These may include glass bottles and jars (all colors), aluminum cans, aluminum foil, tin cans, steel cans, and plastic containers. Items should be rinsed, put in a container or bin, and placed at the curb.
Paper and cardboard recyclables may include boxes, paper bags, books, magazines, and newspapers. These should be bundled together and place curbside for pick-up. Do not include trash, food, packing materials, or garbage with cardboard recyclables.
Please note: Recyclables should be placed curbside in secure bundles or receptacles. They should not be put in plastic bags.
