All assigned recycling bins are the property of the Village of Downers Grove. The address should be written on each assigned bin with an indelible marker. Newspaper and any paper inserts that come inside. Cardboard and chipboard must be flattened or cut no larger than 3' x 3' and must be bound with twine or string. This is very important because the recycling truck's hopper will not hold anything larger in size.
Folded cardboard is unacceptable.
Latex and oil-based paint cans need to be thoroughly emptied and clean. Lids will also be collected. Glass bottles and jars. Metal aerosol cans, disposable pie pans, aluminum foil, pastry trays. All rigid plastic bottles and containers coded with numbers 1 through 7, including wide-mouth containers.
