The recycling program accepts:  

Glass:  Empty, unbroken bottles and jars; clear, brown and green glass. Rinse, leave labels on, discard caps.   No drinking glasses, pyrex, mirrors, window or autoglass, lightbulbs, ceramic or broken glass.

Plastic:  Empty juice, soda, water, milk and laundry detergent bottles, or any container with a #1 or #2 in the recycling triangle located on the bottom of all plastic containers.  Rinse, leave labels on, discard caps, flatten large no deposit items.  The only exception to this #1 & #2 rule is Motor Oil or Antifreeze containers.  It contains a hazardous material and does not go in the bin.  It goes into your regular garbage can.

Metal:  Empty food and beverage cans, clean aluminum food trays.  Rinse, leave labels on.  No spray cans, paint cans, coat hangers or metal household items.

Newspaper/Junk Mail:  Unsoiled newspapers only, including inserts that are in the newspaper when purchased.  Junk Mail and magazines will now be accepted.  All must be either tied with twine or placed in a paper bag, not plastic bags.  No cardboard, wrapping paper, writing paper or any other type of paper will be accepted.
