What is Single-Stream Recycling?
Single-Stream Recycling allows all recyclables to be placed in one container.
There is no need to separate items such as cans, bottles, and plastics from newspapers, cardboard, etc.
Metal:
Tin and aluminum cans, empty paint cans.
Glass:
Jars and bottles.
Cardboard:
Empty and flattened and loose.
Cartons: Milk, Juice, Soup, Flavored drink and Aseptic cartons are examples.
Mixed Paper:
Newspaper, magazines, mail (junk and personal), phone books, food boxes (remove plastic liner), computer paper, flyers, wrapping paper (no foil or plastic wrap), soda and beer cartons (no food-soiled paper, please!)
Plastic Containers:
Recycle #1 through #7 plastics ONLY (mostly beverage and detergent containers). Look for one of these numbers on the bottom of the container to see if it’s acceptable.
Most Common Contaminants
Please help make single-stream recycling a success by keeping these and other materials that cause contamination out of your recycling container.
