Recycling and Contamination:

Are you doing all you can to keep contamination out of the recycling stream? Are you confused about what is and what is not allowed in the blue recycling cart? The number one contamination is plastic bags. Please keep them out of the blue recycling cart and don’t bag your recycling; instead, put recyclable items loosely in the blue cart.
