The types of recyclables accepted and how to prepare them prior to putting in the trailer are listed below. Please note--for any item that is to be recycled it must be empty.
We are currently collecting:
~Number 1 and 2 plastics.
Plastics are sorted by resins and each resin has its own numerical code. The easier the plastic is to recycle the lower the number. You can find this number on the product usually imprinted on the bottom of the product or inside a small triangle on the product label.
Number 1’s are usually a clear plastic such as soft drink and water bottles, medicine containers, peanut butter jars, ketchup jars, etc.
Number 2’s are heavier containers such as laundry detergents, bleaches, milk, shampoo, motor oil, etc.
~Aluminum
~Tin **DO NOT NEED LABLES REMOVED OR RINSED OUT
~Newspaper/paper/magazines ** NO HEAVY CONSTRUCTION PAPER OR HEAVILY DYED
