What you can recycle
In single-stream recycling carts or bins:
- aluminum cans
- tin cans
- cardboard
- boxboard
- all paper items except plastic-coated or food-contaminated
- glass bottles and jars
- plastic bottles and tubs
Recyclable separately at disposal sites:
- scrap metal
- appliances
- wood
- yard waste
- electronics
- tires
|
| Because so many of them are recycled, aluminum cans account for less than 1% of the total U.S. waste stream, according to EPA estimates. |
|
|
| Recycling plastic saves twice as much energy as buring it in an incinerator. |
|
|
| A modern glass bottle would take 4000 years or more to decompose -- and even longer if it's in the landfill. |
|
|
| Every month, we throw out enough glass bottles and jars to fill up a giant skyscraper. All of these jars are recyclable! |
