• Be sure to rinse all plastic and glass containers prior to recycling.

• Remove all caps from containers and discard.

• Sort Sort Sort! Many recyclables do not make it into recycling facilities simply because they were mixed with other mediums. Check with your local provider for what items need to be seperated prior to pickup.

• Many facilities will only process clear, amber and green glass. Check with your local provider before adding blue or other colored glass to your recyclables

•Do not leave items meant for recycling out in plastic bags; they will likely be rejected by your provider, or be refused at the facility

• Certain plastics are either marked or fall under recycling code 7, or "other." Check with your provider to see if these items are recyclable in your area. Even if they are not, there may be facilities looking for these types of plastic, so they still may be recyclable.

• When dealing with containers that once held toxic and/or hazardous chemicals, please follow all state and federal rules for disposing of properly. These containers may not be recyclable.
