Recycling Tips

Become a more effecient recycler.

The fastest and easiest way to sort your recycling is to have two or more blue boxes. Designate one box for your “mixed paper” and the other for your “mixed containers”. Corrugated cardboard is always bundled.

Looking to get more into your blue box? Try these simple things:

• Step on pop cans
• Deflate pop and water bottles and replace the lid
• Stand your paper products up on edge
• Buy in bulk

Wintertime (Snow banks)

Place your blue box at the right side of your driveway (as you face the road). This will ensure that your recycling is noticed as the collection vehicle approaches your house.

Place your blue box on your driveway and not on top of the snow bank. Its a tough job collecting recycling, even tougher when you’re soaking wet and cold.
