STEP 1:
Don't put your recyclables in plastic bags.
- Putting recyclables in plastic bags seriously hinders the recycling process.
- Put all recyclables in large plastic containers or any other large reusable containers, such as large garbage pails.
STEP 2:
Combine milk/juice cartons and drink boxes with plastics, not paper.
- Combine these items with plastics, glass, and cans -- not paper items. (See chart)
