| Please do NOT use plastic bags to sort your recyclables. We suggest you use PAPER bags for loose paper if you wish or a similar paper recyclable such as boxboard (cereal box, detergent box etc.) Place your Blue Box on top of your Red Box if you are concerned about loose paper items blowing away on windy days. |

Put your Container Recyclables box on top of the Paper Recyclables box to keep loose items from blowing out of the Recycle Box.
