"LET'S RECYCLE"

Blue recycling bin

EMPTY.
CLEAN.
SORTED.

LET'S RECYCLE RIGHT!

Your recycling bin does not have to be blue with a recycle symbol on it! Use whatever you have available. An old laundry basket? Cardboard boxes labeled with crayons? Stackable milk crates? Get creative before going out and spending money. Add bins as you need them, or put your recyclables all in one large interim container and then separate prior to recycling with us. Follow the guidelines carefully and watch your trash and disposal bill decrease. You got this!

WE ACCEPT HOUSEHOLD ITEMS PICTURED BELOW. SCROLL DOWN FOR DETAILS. IF IT'S NOT PICTURED HERE, WE CAN'T ACCEPT IT FOR RECYCLING. CLICK "OTHER ITEMS" FOR MORE OPTIONS.

Drawing of a plastic bottle
Americans buy 29 billion water bottles a year. For every six bottles people buy, only one is recycled. That leads to a big problem given the fact that water bottles do not biodegrade, but rather photodegrade. This means that it takes at least up to 1,000 years for every single bottle to decompose, leaking pollutants into our soil and water along the way.
