Recycling Tips
Recycling materials should be loose and not bagged. If you must use a bag, it needs to be transparent. Black bags will be considered contaminated.
Containers that have previously stored liquid or food should be emptied. Food and liquid containers do not have to be rinsed unless it was previously filled with a heavy substance. Examples of heavy substance products include tomato paste, peanut butter and vegetable oil.
Keep lids and caps on plastic bottles and glass jars when recycling.
To limit the amount of space used, break down any cardboard boxes into pieces.
The following items are NOT recyclable, although they are made from paper, plastic and cardboard:
⦁ Pizza boxes
⦁ Styrofoam
⦁ Paper plates
⦁ Plastic cups (i.e. Solo cups)
⦁ Paper towels
⦁ Plastic grocery bags
LRS and Northlake are working together to create a more sustainable place to live.
