Please help make your recycling as clean as possible by remembering the following tips as you recycle. These simple tasks will ensure that all material ends up being recycled and not in the landfill.

• Break down boxes
• Rinse out containers
• Separate lids
• Remove items from plastic bags
• Pizza box and food-contaminated cardboard: please cut out the grease contaminated portions and recycle the rest.
