  • Containers must be rinsed clean before placing in your recycling bin or cart.
  • Containers that cannot be rinsed clean should be placed in the trash.

 

Notes

There are real people who sort the items you place in a recycling bin; dirty containers make their job gross. They also reduce the amount that we can earn from the sale of other recycling items.
