RECYCLING TIPS
Contamination of recyclables (such as mixing types of materials, unclean material, etc.) may cause a portion of the material collected to be discarded instead of being recycled. Proper preparation of your recyclables helps ensure the material will be recycled into usable products. Keep recyclables as clean and dry as possible.
