Our Recycling Guidlines
Explore the range of services we offer to elevate your business.
Easy Sorting
Plastic, cans, glass, and paper can all go in the same bin but must be placed in a translucent bag. This makes it easier for our team to identify and sort the recyclables properly, ensuring efficient and effective recycling processes.
Cardboard Recycling
All cardboard must be broken down and bundled separately. This makes handling and processing easier, ensuring efficient recycling and supporting our eco-friendly efforts.
No Food Waste or Styrofoam
Recycling should be free of food waste, and Styrofoam is not recyclable. Items like pizza boxes with grease stains cannot be accepted by the recycling plant. Please ensure all recyclables are clean and free of food residue to avoid contamination and support effective recycling.

Frequently Asked Questions
Find answers to commonly asked questions about our recycling services.
Why do recyclables need to be placed in translucent bags?
Translucent bags help us easily identify the contents, ensuring that they are sorted correctly. Additionally, using these bags prevents recyclables from blowing all over the neighborhood on windy days, keeping our community clean and tidy
Why can’t food waste be included with recyclables?
Food waste can contaminate other recyclables and make them unusable. Items like greasy pizza boxes or left over remains of peanut butter in the jar should be disposed of separately to ensure effective recycling and prevent contamination.
Why does cardboard need to be broken down and bundled?
Cardboard needs to be broken down and bundled to avoid taking up too much space, which helps our team efficiently service the entire community. Bundling also ensures that it does not blow away, keeping the area clean and manageable.
How do I bundle cardboard properly?
To bundle cardboard properly, first break down all boxes flat. Stack the flattened cardboard neatly and use string, twine, or tape to secure it into manageable bundles. This helps our team handle and process it more efficiently, and ensures it stays in place during collection.
Do I need a recycling tote if my recyclables are in a bag?
No, you do not need a recycling tote if your recyclables are in a bag. However, make sure the bag is heavy enough to prevent it from being blown away by the wind. Properly secured bags will ensure your recyclables are collected efficiently and keep the area clean.
What types of plastic can be recycled?
Most plastics with recycling symbols #1 (PETE) and #2 (HDPE) can be recycled. Common examples include water bottles and milk jugs. Check local guidelines for specifics, as some plastic types may not be accepted.
What should I do if I’m unsure whether an item is recyclable?
If you’re unsure whether an item is recyclable, consult your local recycling guidelines or check our recycling policy page. When in doubt, it’s better to avoid placing questionable items in your recycling bin to prevent contamination.
