General Preparation Guidelines for Single-Stream Recycling:

• All recyclable materials should be mixed loose in the blue recycling cart, no sorting or separation of recycled materials is necessary
• Absolutely NO PLASTIC BAGS
• Absolutely NO TRASH; trash is to be placed into the Green Trash Cart
• Cardboard and Paperboard should be flattened to conserve space inside the recycling cart
• Food and Beverage containers should be rinsed clean, a thorough washing is NOT required
• Keep the Blue Recycling Cart lid closed to keep the recyclable materials dry
• Shredded paper should be secured in a brown paper grocery bag
