Sorting Recyclables: A Simple Guide

Recycling does not have to be complicated. At CleanCity, we recommend a three-bag system that works for almost every home: one bag for paper and cardboard, one bag for plastics and metals, and one bag for glass. Rinse containers before tossing them in to avoid contamination, and always flatten cardboard to save space. If you are not sure whether something is recyclable, put it in the general waste bag rather than contaminating the recycling stream. Our crews will take it from there, ensuring as much material as possible finds a second life instead of ending up in landfill.
