💡 Local's tip

Rinse containers before recycling — food residue contaminates the load. NO: plastic bags, styrofoam, food waste, clothing, electronics, batteries, or hazardous materials. When in doubt, throw it out — "wish-cycling" (recycling non-recyclables) does more harm than good.

Recycling — The Quick Yes/No Guide

YES in your recycling bin: Clean paper, flattened cardboard, plastic bottles and containers labeled #1-7, aluminum and steel cans, glass bottles and jars (empty, rinsed, lids removed). NO in your recycling bin: Plastic bags (return to grocery store drop-off), styrofoam, food waste, greasy pizza boxes, clothing, electronics, batteries, light bulbs, yard waste, hoses, or cords. When in doubt, throw it out — contaminated recycling loads go to landfill.
