Recyclables do not have to be sorted. They can be commingled and put into the same container. Your recycling container should be an open-topped bin labeled RECYCLABLES. The container must be open-top or without a lid in order for our workers to recognize it. Care should be taken to avoid any glass breakage. Flatten items (except glass), if possible.
