Some quick recycling tips:

Check the Number – Only plastic items marked with #1, #2, or #5 can go in your curbside recycling bin. Plastics with other numbers should go in the trash.

Keep Plastic Bags and Films Out – Items like plastic bags, bubble wrap, and plastic film can’t be recycled curbside. Many local grocery stores offer drop-off bins specifically for these materials!

Clean and Empty – Make sure all food or liquid containers are empty and rinsed to help us keep the recycling stream clean.
