Non-recyclables contaminate recycling loads making it more difficult to turn recyclables into new products. This threatens the sustainability of the entire recycling system.
Some items may also contaminate clean recyclable items (ex. pasta sauce in a dirty jar can soak into clean office paper which is then no longer recyclable).
If our drivers notice a lot of contamination in your recycling we may not be able to service it as recycling and may tag it to have it serviced as trash (in which case you may be charged).
- When in doubt...find out or throw it out in the garbage.
- Recyclables should always be
Empty. Clean. Dry.™
