RECYCLING TIPS Tip #1: Only Place These Recyclables in the Curbside Recycling Container • Paper, including newspapers, envelopes, junk mail, phone books and magazines. • Flattened cardboard, file folders, and poster board – must be placed in cart. - Large flattened cardboard may be dropped off at the Township recycling dumpster. • Plastic bottles and containers – Plastic #1 and 2 only. • Aluminum, tin food and beverage cans. Tip #2: Recyclables Should Be Empty, Clean & Dry • Place all items in recycling cart without plastic bags. • Plastic grocery bags are only recyclable through the grocery stores. Tip #3: When In Doubt, Throw It Out Contamination is a major obstacle of recycling. Many consumers put items into the recycling container hoping that they are recyclable. Despite these good intentions, some items should not be mixed in with clean recyclables. If questioning whether something is recyclable or not follow the guidance, “When in doubt, throw it out” by tossing the items into the trash container.
