A simple guideline is to recycle food and beverage containers and “Anything That Tears”. The great thing about our Single Stream program is that all of these items can be thrown in the same container!

• Magazines and catalogues
• Newspapers and inserts
• All white, colored and coated papers
• Brochures and pamphlets
• Correspondence papers (letterhead, direct mail pieces and
advertising)
• Envelopes (even with plastic windows or labels)
• Folders (manila, coated or colored)
