Pre-Service Preparation

• Gather all recyclable materials and separate them by type (e.g., paper, plastic, metal, glass).
• Ensure all items are clean and free of food residues to avoid contamination.
• Verify the recycling schedule and collection days specific to your area.

During Service

• Make sure that the bins are not overloaded and that the lids can close properly.
• Communicate with the recycling service provider if there are any issues or questions during the collection process.

Post-Service Verification

• Check that all collected recyclables have been removed from your property.
• Review any informational materials or updates provided by the recycling service for changes or improvements.
• Report any missed collections or contamination issues to the recycling service provider.

Local Requirements

• Follow local guidelines on accepted recyclable materials, as these can vary by municipality.
• Adhere to specific preparation rules, such as flattening cardboard boxes or removing caps from plastic bottles.
• Participate in community recycling education programs to stay informed about best practices and any changes in recycling policies.
