Go blue. It’s the right thing to do. We’re so committed to the environment that, at times, we’ve loaded our recyclables in oversized containers. But we’ve heard that lifting oversized containers has become an occupational health and safety issue for the people who pick them up.

So now we use only recognized blue boxes and blue bags for our recycling. It’s the right thing to do for the environment. And for the people who work every day to make it better.
