Recycle It!
Don’t think you have enough for a recycle bin? Think again!
Recycling is more then just CA CRV items! In addition to putting CA CRV bottles and cans in your blue comingled recycling container, you can include:

• PAPER, cardboard and chipboard boxes
• GLASS bottles and jars
• METAL food cans and CA CRV cans 
• PLASTIC bottles, jars, jugs and CA CRV bottles.

**Place recyclable materials in the BLUE container loosely, DO NOT bag them.
Plastic bags go into your GRAY trash container or it can be recycled at most major stores.
