Steel Cans
– All steel cans (tin cans) can be recycled. The cans
should be clean. Lids may be recycled as long as
they do not have a rubber coating or seal. Please leave
the lids attached to the can with a short edge to make handling
safer for yourself and the workers.
Aluminum –
Aluminum beverage cans should be rinsed. All other types
of aluminum (yard chairs, window frames, etc.) should be
inspected by a staff member prior to drop off. Some of
these items may be accepted for recycling, but must be free of
all rivets, rubber gaskets, fabric, etc. prior to disposal.
Plastic –
Acceptable materials include only milk
containers, pop bottles and detergent/dish soap bottles.
No other types of plastic materials are acceptable,
regardless of the number located on the container. Please
rinse the containers and remove lids.
Newspaper –
All newsprint, along with colored flyers, cartoons, and
“stuffers” are acceptable for recycling. Please remove
newsprint from sacks or boxes and deposit directly into binds
provided.
Magazines –
All magazines, including catalogs and other “slick” paper can be
recycled. Discarded books can also be recycled, but covers
must be removed.
Cardboard –
Corrugated cardboard and paperboard should be deposited in the
outdoor fenced area located on the southeast corner of the
building. Paperboard includes such things as facial tissue
boxes, food packaging such as cereal or other prepared foods.
Brown paper grocery bags can also be recycled in this area.
Glass -
All types of glass food and beverage containers, kitchen glass
and small window glass can be recycled. Broken glass is
