A Few Things to Remember

• Milk cartons are recyclable containers. Be sure to put them in your blue bag for containers and not in with paper products.
• Disposable baking trays and pie pans are recyclable aluminum containers. The metal ones you have used for years are not recyclable at the curb.
• Paper flyers, catalogues and ‘junk’ mail are recyclable papers. The plastic bags they may come in are not recyclable at the curb.
• Glass is not accepted in household recycling collection.
• There is no limit to how many recycling bags you can place at the curb. Thank you for recycling!

We Ask That You:

• Sort your recyclables into two types— paper products and containers.
• Make sure everything’s clean. Rinse food containers so there’s no food left inside. It’s especially important to rinse milk cartons, as milk will go sour quickly.
• Remove the lids and caps from your containers, and remove wrap or plastic from boxes and paper.
