FUN FACT: All clean, recycled materials are sold at market price to offset the operational budget!
METAL & TIN: Soup cans, tuna cans, as long as the object is MOSTLY metal.
Corrugated Cardboard: Corrugated board is typically made of at least three layers: two outer layers of linerboard and an inner layer of fluted (wavy) cardboard. To ensure efficient recycling, corrugated cardboard must be wet or grease-free and broken into 2’x4’ piles.
Boxboard: These would be your cereal, shoe, detergent, cracker, cookie, baking product, frozen food boxes, toilet paper rolls, or other similar items, with the PLASTICS removed. Boxboard means thick paper packaging without a corrugated core. The cardboard MUST be dry and free of grease (pizza).
