HELPFUL HINTS FOR GOOD RECYCLING
Newspaper is good by itself only. Mixing it with office paper downgrades it to mixed waste. Ream wrappers, newspaper, glued items, plastic, carbon paper, goldenrod and ultra brights are the most common contaminates found in higrade paper. These items send up red flags around recyclers.
We are unable to pick up the following items: Unbaled cardboard, glass, tin cans, plastic, glued items, trash, and paper that has been shredded.
