Recycle It! Don’t think you have enough for a recycle bin? Think again! There are a lot more items you can put in your blue container than you think other than items that have a CA CRV label. Food cans, clean glass jars and bottles; clean paper like cardboard, junk mail, magazines, newspapers, phone books; plastic bottles and jugs like household cleaner bottles, juice and milk jugs.
