⚠️ Do NOT bag your recycling. Loose materials only. Plastic bags will jam recycling machines — keep them separated from your bin or place them loose in your trash. Glass is accepted but must be easy for the driver to separate: place it in a box next to your bin, or set it on top of the bin so it can be quickly sorted.

Plastic Bags — We Can Recycle Them, Just Keep Them Separate
Plastic bags jam recycling machines when mixed with loose recyclables, so they cannot go loose in your bin. However, we will accept them if they are bundled together in a separate bag or tied bundle placed next to your bin on pickup day — or you can simply toss them in your regular trash.
