Frequently asked questions
View MoreWhat can I recycle?
Accepted recyclable materials vary depending on your location. The best way to know which items can be recycled, is to refer to your local recycling program. We gathered this handy list of Recycling Resources by Location {link to “Recycling Resources by Location”} you can reference if you live in one of our existing locations. You can also see accepted items at-a-glance by clicking on the “Locations” tab at the top of the page.
Otherwise, you can simply search “recycling” + “[your city”] and you should be able to locate which items are accepted. Your municipality’s website may also have a page with information on recycling best practices, including a list of accepted items.
Commonly accepted materials include:
*Cardboard
*Paper (office paper, newspaper, cardstock, etc.)
*Plastic bottles and containers
*Aluminum cans
Why is it important to recycle properly?
Taking the steps to ensure the material you are placing in the recycling bin is recyclable curbside, and is clean, loose, and dry, helps your local recycling program work more efficiently. In other words, doing your part to reduce contamination (wrong item in wrong bin) in the recycling stream helps us process the recyclable material better and safer, ultimately empowering us to increase our positive environmental impact.
Across all our facilities, we will have sorters touching the items you have placed in your bin. The safety of our employees and partners is our top priority. By following local recycling guidelines, not only are you ensuring your local recycling program works efficiently, but you are also keeping recycling and solid waste employees safe!
