MIXED ORGANICS
Materials such as food scraps(fruit and vegetable peels, leftovers), yard waste (grass clippings, leaves), and paper products (napkins, paper towels). These materials are collected for composting, where they break down to create nutrient-rich soil. Learn more.
MIXED RECYCLABLES
Materials such as paper, cardboard, glass, plastics, aluminum, and metal. After collection, these materials make their way through a Materials Recovery Facility (MRF), where they are sorted and baled to become new viable resources.
GARBAGE
Materials that are not recyclable such as non-recyclable plastics(bags and saran wrap), Styrofoam, wax-lined paper, soiled materials, and other waste that cannot be recycled or composted. These materials are collected and sent to a landfill facility for disposal, where they are managed according to environmental regulations and waste management practices.
