• Please wash all items, remove lids or tops and flatten where possible. 

• Please wash and remove labels as best as possible. 
• Please crush the tin cans where possible. 
• No paint cans. 
• No large metal items - to be taken to the landfill directly. 
• No tin foil.

IMPORTANT NOTES

• At this time we do have some glass recycling bins at a limited number of locations, but any glass placed in these containers is not recycled because WYWRA does not have access to a glass recycler.  Any glass placed in these containers is simply taken to the landfill, therefore we at WYWRA encourage everyone to take glass in for recycling if at all possible.
• Wherever possible, take your pop bottles, pop cans etc. to your nearest SARCAN outlet.  Similarly waste oil, tires, pesticide containers etc. have separately established locations for returns. 
• Do not throw bags of recyclable items in the bins.  Throw recyclables into appropriate bins and dispose of the plastic bag in the plastic bin unless otherwise noted.
