If it looks like rain, hold paper until the next recycling collection day. A blue bag is a translucent plastic bag designed especially for recycling.
Most grocery stores can use brown kraft paper bags to sack groceries.
City sanitation crews pick up the recyclables. The city has contracted with a material recovery company, which will process and send them to market for manufacturing into new products. The removal of glass from the curbside collection mix will maintain a higher standard of material quality and marketability. Glass is accepted at all city recycling drop-off centers .
