Recycle Responsibly DO add to the Recycling Bin: Paper Flattened Cardboard Plastic Bottles and Containers Glass Bottles and Jars Metal Food and Beverage Cans Food and Beverage Cartons Keep these items loose (not in plastic bags), clean and dry. DON’T add to the Recycling Bin: Plastic Bags and Film Styrofoam Shredded Paper that is not in a paper bag Sharps and Needles Food Waste and Food-Soiled Containers Liquids One-Time-Use Disposables (such as plastic straws and utensils) Items that Tangle (such as Christmas tree lights and garden hoses) Batteries Light Bulbs and Glass that is not a bottle or jar Scrap Metal Shoes and Clothing Construction Waste Household Hazardous Waste Yard Waste Recycling Tips Labels may remain on cans and bottles. Glass is usually broken during collection or transit, so the lids may be on or off the bottles. Metal lids may remain with metal cans or be separated, since magnets collect the steel products. Recycling centers prefer that you leave the plastic cap on a plastic bottle so that the caps do not fall out of the conveyor system. Take long fluorescent bulbs to Lowe's, Home Depot or Metro Lighting for responsible recycling Wish-Cycling "Wish-cycling" is the practice of placing questionable items in your recycling bin with the hope that the items will be recycled. Even if this is done with good intentions, the impact can be harmful. Wish-cycling is detrimental because it puts a lot of items in the recycling stream that don't belong there, can contaminate perfectly good recyclables, and can damage the equipment in recycling facilities. Items like garden hoses, extension cords, plastic bags, paper cups and plastic utensils all reduce the value of recyclables. Stick to the list of six acceptable items so Brentwood can gain the most from its recycling program.
