Recycling helps save resources, energy, and money.  It keeps materials out of the landfill, provides jobs, combats global warming, and “closes the loop” through the creation of new products out of recycled materials.

Please, remember that every time you buy something made from recycled material you close the loop and help to sustain the recycling process. Please read below for what materials are recyclable through our company and the various ways you can help reduce your waste to help sustain our planet.

Rinse and Leave the cap on

Rinsing plastic and glass containers help to keep paper products clean. Because single-stream collects all recyclables at once to encourage people to recycle more material, it does help to take a few seconds to make sure containers are completely empty and to give them a quick wash.

Plastic and glass manufacturers don't have trouble with some residual ketchup on bottles; however paper manufacturers do because they do not use large amounts of heat. When paper is contaminated with too much material they have to throw it away.

So when containers are not cleaned out they risk contaminating thousands of other peoples recycling efforts. Caps and lids of containers are recyclable; however most of the time they are made from a different material than the container, including plastic bottles. Caps should be left on containers when placed into your recycling cart (Please note that if you are taking CRV items to the Buyback Center caps need to be off).
