RECYCLING TIPSYou can help ensure that more materials are recycled by following these steps:

Place your blue boxes side by side. Allow 1m (3 ft) between your recycling containers and your garbage bin.

Empty and rinse containers.

Contain shredded paper inside a paper bag or box before adding to your recycling.

Flatten cardboard, remove plastic wrap from cardboard flats. Staples and tape okay. If too large for recycling container, flatten and cut to no larger than 30” wide (78 cm) by 30” tall (78 cm). Stack neatly and securely place beside or between recycling containers.
