When in Doubt, Throw it Out!

Contamination is the term used for non-recyclable items that are placed in the recycling stream (such as food waste). Contamination reduces the efficiency and economy of the collection and sorting process and can cause your recyclables to be rejected which results in increased cost!

Single Stream Recycling

Single stream recycling is a complicated name for a very simple idea: instead of separating your recyclables in to 2 or 3 containers, you put them all in the same one for more efficient collection. No sorting. No separating. Just responsible recycling made easy.
