CARDBOARD/PAPER Recycling
DO NOT contaminate with other recycling like plastics or tin.
DO NOT place paperback books in this bin – donate or sell.
DO NOT leave large boxes on the floor for someone else to clean up.
Do fold your boxes down before putting in the cardboard bin, this will maximize space.
Do break down your box if it is too big for the bin or cut it up so that it fits compactly.
Do separate any Styrofoam from packing boxes before you put it in the bin.
Styrofoam can contaminate the entire load, making it hard or more costly to recycle.
TIN/PLASTIC: We do not accept Soft Plastic or Styrofoam in these totes!
Please use ONLY compostable bags. DO NOT use plastic or biodegradable bags. Plastic bags do not break down and biodegradable bags take too long.
