What's in your blue bin?



Putting the right items in your blue bin helps recyclables get a second life.

Do NOT put these items into your blue bin: Caulking tubes, plant trays/pots, clear egg cartons, clear fruit/vegetable containers, take-out food containers (most), plastic over-wrap and bags used for flyers, dry-cleaning, milk & potato chips. These are all items to be put into your garbage bin.

Do NOT put these items in your blue bin: Batteries, oil, medicines, propane tanks, cylinders, fluorescent light bulbs and tubes. These are Household Hazardous Waste (HHW) and need to be taken to a proper drop off for disposal.
