After our clean up this month, I discovered that many people do not know what to recycle.

Yes, take tops off bottles and rinse them. Here’s more from Rumpke’s website:

What goes in your bin?

Paper

Newspaper, newspaper inserts, magazines,

catalogs, junk mail, envelopes (with and without

windows), computer paper, brown paper bags,

paperboard (i.e. cereal boxes), cardboard

boxes (broken down into 3 ft. x 3 ft.) and

telephone books.

Plastic Bottles #1-7

All plastic bottles #1-7, such as milk jugs, soft

drink, laundry detergent and shampoo bottles.

Please remove caps and rinse bottles. Plastics

other than bottles are not acceptable. No wide

mouth containers or buckets.

Glass

Clear, brown, green and blue glass food and

drink containers, bottles and jars.

Aluminum & Steel Cans

Aluminum and steel beverage, soup and food

and gutters.

No Separation Required!

Simply place all items in your bin and put your bin

at the curb the night before your collection day.

Oil jugs, plastic bags, plastics other than

bottles, wide mouth containers and buckets,
