Knowing what materials can go into your recycle bin and how they should be prepared can be confusing.
This toolkit page gives you tools you need to know what materials can be recycled (lists of accepted materials, flyers, interactive games and how-to videos).
Our intent is to continue to add helpful items to the toolkit as they become available. If you have an idea for a useful tool we should add to this page, please let us know!
