Just a reminder to make sure and recycle your recyclables!
- The tall "slim jims" are lined with clear liners (to differentiate from the black trash can liners) and these should be used for bottles, cans and the like. You do NOT need to rinse items you are placing in these lined containers!!
- The smaller, unlined recycle bins are for items like paper, cardboard and other CLEAN recyclables.
Try to keep paper and paper products clean by not placing your wet or dirty items in the same bin. Use the lined bins for those items.
Can I recycle???
- Mail? With a window? Glossy? YES YES YES!
- Paper with staples in it? YES!
