Helpful Recycling Hints:

• Aluminum Cans: Only aluminum cans can be placed in the bin. Foil, trays, pans, etc., need to be placed in the scrap metal pile.
• Steel cans: It is okay to leave paper labels on cans. Please note that some food cans are aluminum – please look closely.
• Cardboard: Please remember to remove non-cardboard packing materials and garbage from boxes. Paperboard such as cereal and cracker boxes can be placed in the cardboard bin. The packing tape on boxes is OK.
• E-Waste: Store e-waste until the annual e-waste recycling event. See list of accepted items here.

Keep recyclables separate. When in doubt about a product, please put it in the garbage and don’t risk contaminating the recycle bin.
