“PW Paws wants YOU to recycle!”
DO
•Rinse plastic containers, steel and tin cans to remove liquid and food, then dry;
this will help avoid attracting flies and other pests.
•Leave lids on if they are made of recyclable materials.
• Break down or cut up large cardboard boxes before placing in container.
This prevents material from wedging inside the container, restricting contents
from being disposed.
•Place junk mail or loose papers in brown paper bags. This prevents spills.
•Ensure recyclables are clean and dry.
•Ensure lid of container is closed before placing out for collection.
•Ensure that the recycling container lid opens toward the collection vehicle.
Recycling - Good to go!
