All paper and cardboard must be bundled or bagged when brought into the Recycling Center. Cardboard and mixed (paper and cardboard) must then be separated into two areas when brought into the recycling shed. (Look for signs.) Shredded paper must be enclosed in tied plastic bags or taped boxes.
Only number 1 and 2 plastic can go into the plastic trailer, and please tie jugs together or secure in large plastic bags (not paper bags!).
The blue container at the Recycling Center is not for garbage. It is clearly marked “Copper Only”. When you are done emptying your glass or tin cans into the appropriate bins, then please bring the paper or plastic bag that contained those articles to the compactor for disposal.
