If you decide to recycle, PLEASE DO NOT CONTAMINATE RECYCLABLES with food or wet garbage. For example, a pizza box with sauce and cheese on it should be thrown out with regular trash. If in doubt, put the item in the regular trash. Once a container of recyclables is contaminated, all of it has to be discarded as trash. | |
