Materials That Are Collected For Recycling

• Shredded Paper: Any and All shredded paper MUST be bagged separately from ALL Other Materials. Other materials rip or puncture the bags and the shredded paper falls out of the bag. All shredded material MUST be bagged, loose material is not accepted. Please Do Not throw these bags from an elevated position into any recycle bin. This causes the bag to burst open and spill its contents on the ground. Please Do Not use a twist tie to tie the bag closed, they come loose and cause a spill of materials.

• Cardboard: Boxes (broken down or not is fine). Small pieces (scrap) should be bagged or placed in a box that can be sealed. Scrap is small enough to fit in the palm of your hand or less than 1 ft. in length and width.

• Non-Shredded Paper: All paper should be bagged in such a manner as to not rip the bag. 20-30 lbs. is the recommended weight limit for a bag. If the bag rips, stop loading paper into it and place in a second bag and tie it up. Keep all non-paper materials out of these bags, including shredded paper. All material MUST be bagged, loose material is not accepted. Please Do Not throw these bags from an elevated position into any recycle bin. This causes the bag to burst open and spill its contents on the ground.

• Aluminum and tin cans: Please remove all liquid and/or food from these before bagging so as to not attract Bees and Wasps. All material MUST be bagged, loose material is not accepted.

• Electronic Scrap (E-scrap): Computers and their parts, printers, and most electronic items are taken by the Recycling Center at this time. Televisions are not accepted.

• Plastic #1 (PET or PETE): Pop, water bottles, peanut butter/jam jars, microwaveable food trays. Please remove all liquid and/or food from these before bagging so as not to allow fermentation. This attracts Bees and Wasps and endangers workers that handle the materials. All material MUST be bagged, loose material is not accepted.

• Plastic #2 (HDPE): Grocery Bags, opaque milk, water, and juice containers, bleach, detergent and shampoo bottles. As with Plastic #1, please remove all liquid from these containers before bagging. All material MUST be bagged, loose material is not accepted.
