Recyclable materials typically include paper, cardboard, plastics, metals, glass, and certain electronics. Contact your local recycler to confirm which materials are accepted.

Items should be clean, dry, and free of food residue. Break down cardboard boxes, rinse out containers, and sort materials as required by your recycler.

Some recyclers use single-stream recycling, allowing you to mix materials, while others require separation by type. Check with your recycler for their specific guidelines.

Yes, many recyclers accept electronics and batteries, but these often require special handling. Contact your recycler to confirm and learn about any associated fees or requirements.

Non-recyclable items often include food-contaminated containers, plastic bags, Styrofoam, and hazardous materials. Always check with your recycler for a full list of prohibited items.

While many items can be recycled for free, some items like electronics, appliances, and certain hazardous materials may incur a recycling fee. Contact your recycler for specific pricing.

Many recyclers offer pickup services for large or bulk items, while others may require you to drop items off at their facility. Verify with your recycler if pickup services are available in your area.

Recyclable materials are processed and turned into raw materials used to create new products, reducing the need for virgin resources and lowering environmental impact.

Not all plastics are recyclable. Items with resin codes #1 and #2 are commonly recycled, while others may not be accepted depending on your recycler's capabilities.
