Recycling set-out tips
General curb habits — not city law. For what your town accepts, use the city links.
Keep it loose and empty
Most programs want recyclables empty and loose in the cart — not in plastic bags.
Break down cardboard
Flatten boxes so they fit under the lid.
Leave space around the cart
Give crews room on both sides (often about 3 feet clear).
Know what your city bans
Bags, foam, food waste, and HHW are commonly rejected. Use your city page.
Holidays can shift recycling day
When trash slides for a holiday, recycling often slides with it.
