Separation of recyclables can be accomplished with a few large containers, and a few smaller ones. For instance, plastics can be separated by plastic bags inside the same large bin. Newspaper and magazines can be separated inside a bin with junk mail in a small box on top. Some small details are required such as remembering to rinse milk containers (yuck if not), and NOT including plastic bottle lids. We take your junk mail with all colored paper. Your cardboard boxes should be flattened- not crushed. And it’s a good idea to take the tape off. We take Styrofoam peanuts, clothing, computers, and printer cartrages.

Your containers should be easy to lift. Most of our customers prefer (18 gallon) plastic bins with lids. Cardboard boxes work fine until they get old or wet. Garbage cans are ok if you can keep the weight down. A full garbage can of newspaper or magazines is difficult for our driver to lift. Paper bags inside plastic bins work well We recycle your paper bags with cardboard. If you read the separation guidelines, and still have questions please call.
