DO NOT put recycling in plastic bags

phone books, newspapers, magazines, brochures & inserts (no plastic bags),
paperboard boxes (cereal, pasta & tissue), greeting cards, regular & junk mail,
glass bottles & jars, file folders, loose metal jar lids & steel bottle caps, paper
towel rolls, and paperback books. No need to remove paper clips, stamps,
address labels, staples, metal fasteners, cellophane address windows, rubber

Do not place scrap metal, plastic bags, plastic lids & caps, plastic 6-pack

containers, organic material, and food waste or electronic waste (batteries,

Latex paint is NOT hazardous waste.
In order to safely dispose of latex paint, solidify the paint before placing it
out with your trash. Simply take the top off the can and place it outside, away
from children and pets, and allow it to harden. If the can is very full, place
kitty litter in the can and stir until all the paint is absorbed. Empty, lidless
cans should be placed in a box and put out with your regular trash.
