The mixed container bins

• Please rinse all containers and discard all caps, lids or pumps
• For glass, we accept food and beverage bottles and jars (clear, brown or green), with foil wrappers removed
• All aluminum and steel cans must be emptied
• We accept clean, rinsed aluminum and tin foil, food and pie plates
• We accept only plastic bottles; the neck opening will be smaller than the base of the container
• Please flatten what you are able to for more space in your bins

The newspaper bin

• Recycle the entire newspaper, including ads and inserts
• Stack newspapers loose in the bin without bags, strings or rubber bands
• Please keep newspapers dry (use the lid or stack another bin on top)
• Place extra newspapers in garbage bags or boxes with lids
