♻️Flatten Boxes ♻️

Did you know that unflattened cardboard boxes take up valuable space in recycling bins? Before placing cardboard in a recycling container, please break down and flatten all boxes. If you're using a cardboard box to transport your recyclables, either flatten it before placing it in the bin or take it home to reuse it again.

Flattening boxes helps make room for more recyclables and keeps the drop-off collection sites running efficiently. Thank you for doing your part to !

♻️ Recycle During the Week! ♻️

Did you know that recycling bins are often busiest on weekends? By visiting your local recycling drop-off site during the week, you'll find more available space and help keep materials loose and properly sorted for recycling.

When bins have room, recyclables are less likely to overflow and more likely to make it through the recycling process successfully.
