Prepare
recycle bin: |
|
- To
avoid blowing debris, all newspapers
should be placed in the bottom
of the bin.
- Mixed
paper items (cereal boxes, clean
food cartons, shoe type boxes,
typing and computer paper, misc.
mail, phone books and magazines)
may be placed inside a paper grocery
bag and placed inside the green
bin.
-
Loosely place in the bin all plastic
containers, clear glass
containers and tin cans (discard
caps and lids). Rinse out all
containers. There is no need to
remove labels.
- Corrugated
cardboard boxes may be flattened
and placed under the green bin.
