The only plastic we accept are plastic bottles, jugs, and containers. If it is plastic, but not a bottle, jug, or container chances are it is not recyclable in our program. When in doubt, throw it out!

Please leave the lids on all items and the labels can be left on. Anything smaller than a tennis ball is too small to be recycled.

Remember to rinse all items out so there is no food residue or liquid inside.
