Use a separate bin for glass when you set out your curbside recycling. Use a plastic bucket or other non-paper container that will hold up in the rain. If you live in an apartment, condominium or other multi-family housing, a separate container for glass will be provided. Glass mixed with other items breaks and can contaminate paper, plastics and other recyclables making them more difficult, costly or impossible to recycle. In addition, broken glass can damage recycling equipment at paper mills. Please remove lids and rinse containers. Metal lids can be recycled with other metals in your commingled recycling roll cart or container. Lids are not allowed in the glass bin.
