And the city picks up recycling right at your curb. Bundle corrugated cardboard and tie it with sturdy twine. Styrofoam cups, egg cartons, etc. Food containers yogurt, margarine, take-out, salad bar, etc.
Metal cans tuna, soup, pet food, etc.
Plastic trays or tubs take-out, microwave, etc. Place large metal items, such as furniture and large appliances, at the curb next to your recycling container on your regular recycling day. In apartment buildings, ask your Super where to put large metal items. To avoid odors and pests. The Department of Sanitation recommends leaving them in the sink and rinsing while you do the dishes, to save time and water.
