Empty aerosol cans (non-hazardous contents)

Prep steps

Plastic film & bags (grocery, bread, bubble wrap)

Prep steps

  • Remove liners/food

Rigid plastic plant pots, buckets & toys

Prep steps

  • Quickly rinse if needed
  • Place items empty, dry, and loose in blue bin

Recycling rigid plastics reduces landfill volume and supports recycled resin markets.

Scrap metal & metal clothing hangers

  • Bundle small pieces safely
  • Transport to local recycler

Recycling metal recovers high-value material and prevents equipment jams at MRFs.

Household batteries (AA/AAA, button, lithium-ion)
