⚠️ Important: A single dirty or misplaced item can mean a whole load of recyclables ends up in landfill. Clean containers make all the difference.
What We Accept
Plastics 1 & 2 Only
Look for the recycling number on the bottom. Only numbers 1 and 2 can be processed properly.
Examples:
Milk bottles, soft drink bottles, detergent containers, yogurt containers
Glass Containers
All colors accepted. Must be containers only – no window glass or light bulbs.
Examples:
Beer bottles, wine bottles, jam jars, sauce bottles
Metal Cans
Food cans, drink cans, and clean foil. Remove labels if you can, but not essential.
Examples:
Tin cans, aluminium cans, clean foil trays, pet food cans
Paper
Clean paper only. Flatten everything to save space and make processing easier.
Examples:
Newspapers, magazines, office paper, books, phone books
Cardboard
Clean cardboard boxes and packaging. Flatten boxes and remove tape if possible.
Examples:
Shipping boxes, cereal boxes, pizza boxes (if clean), egg cartons
