#2 Plastics (HDPE) include milk jugs, detergent bottles and shampoo bottles
To Help Make Your Trip Quick and Easy & For the Safety of Our Recycling Staff:
- Cardboard should be broken down flat to insure there are no contents left inside.
- Plastic bottles should be completely empty.
- Paper and cardboard items should not be wet or soiled. As the Recycling Center is not a single stream recycling facility and space is limited, materials will only be accepted for processing if separated into these categories.
- A cardboard bailer is available for commercial customers during regular business hours.
- Large containers are placed along the drive-through, clearly marked for each of the various items. We ask you to pre-sort your items and place them into the proper boxes to expedite the procedure.
