Bins and containers play a crucial role in your recycling program. Using consistent labels and bins will help to increase participation and decrease contamination.
- Put recycling bins next to every trash bin.
- Make sure bins are visible and easy to get to.
- Use clear, consistent bin colors: Blue for recyclables. Green for organics.
