Do Not Bag Recyclables

The two most recent additions to the ever-increasing list of items that can be recycled are Styrofoam™ and aseptic cartons. All Styrofoam™ packing materials will be accepted for recycling except for packing peanuts. Packing peanuts should be either reused or placed in your trash bin. Styrofoam™ food containers placed in your recycling bin must be free of food residue. Aseptic packing containers include milk and juice cartons, coconut water boxes, soy milk cartons, soup containers, ice cream cartons, and many others.
