Yes. There is not a limit, but have at least one marked bin in the group.
How does single stream recycling work?
All
recyclable items – paper, cardboard, plastic, metal and glass – need to
be mixed together loosely in one bin. Lids and labels can be left on
recyclable containers, which should be empty and rinsed before recycling
Recyclables
must be placed in your designated recycling bin (a durable, lidded,
plastic or metal container of your choice, 35 gallon maximum), marked
with a DSW-issued sticker.
More than one recycling bin is OK. Do
not place recyclables in plastic bags for collection (shredded paper is
the only exception). No string, no bags, no trash allowed.
Helpful Hints:
- Step on milk jugs, detergent bottles, etc., to make room in the bin.
- Cardboard must be flattened. If it does not fit in the bin, put it beside or under the recycling bin.
- Curbside recycling should be out by 6 a.m. the day of pick up or put out the night before.
- 50 pound limit on recycling bins. You can use more than one bin.
- Consider
waiting until your next recycling day during high winds or severe snow
storms. Do not put recycling containers on snow banks.
Transfer
station users can transport recycling in any container and then must
dump it loose into singlestream recycling container at the station.
