Tip of the Week: Not All Plastic is Accepted in the Recycling Cart

Have you started cleaning up the yard and wondering about garden plastic like pots, garden décor, and outdoor play structure? Remember not all plastic is accepted in the green cart!

The only plastic items that belong in your recycling cart are bottles, jars, jugs, & tubs, plus clear plastic cups, clear plastic clamshells, and clear plastic egg cartons.

If your item still has life in it, consider donating or passing it along to others by listing it online.
