Recycling Guidelines
With the “two-sort” recycling system, it's never been easier to recycle properly. Recycle newspapers, inserts, catalogs, magazines, junk mail, office paper, soft-covered books, file folders, soda and beer cartons, and crushed boxes from items such as cereal, tissues, rice and macaroni in one bin or a brown paper bag. In the other bin, place containers and plastics #1 and 2; green, brown and clear glass; steel/aluminum; food and beverage cans; and milk/juice cartons and drink boxes.
