Frequently Asked Questions
Should I put my recyclables in a trash bag?
No, please do not put your recyclables in a trash bag. During the sorting process, items located in a trash bag end up in the landfill rather than being recycled.

Depending on the items inside of a trash bag lead to contamination of reclycable materials and harm to the machinery.
