Now accepting Glass (click here for info)

#1 Plastics - (with a neck or handle)
#2 Plastics

As a rule of thumb #1's are items like soda or water bottles. #2's are items like shampoo, laundry detergent and Milk containers. On the bottom of the plastic containers you will see a symbol similar to the one above which will have a number in the middle, this is a sure way of determining whether it is a #1 or #2 plastic.

We will not accept #3 and up at this time.

Aluminum - cans, foil
Paper
Magazines
Phone Books
Newspaper - must be free of containments and no wet paper.
Corrugated cardboard - must be free of contaminants, no pizza boxes and all cardboard boxes must be broken down when possible so that they lay flat.
