BATTERIES
Batteries & electronics are a fire hazard
and should never go in recycling carts.
Search “battery” or “electronic” in our
Waste Wizard website tool to find
proper drop-off locations.
LIQUIDS & FOOD
Putting garbage, liquids & food in the
recycling or “wish-cycling” items that
you are unsure what to do with makes it
difficult and costly for us to sort clean
recyclables. When in doubt, visit our
Waste Wizard website tool or contact us.
SHREDDED PAPER
Shredded paper builds up in our
equipment creating unnecessary
maintenance & cleanup. Visit our
website or contact us for information
about shred events or other shredded
paper drop-off site information.
