Recycle It! Don’t think you have enough for a recycle bin? Think again! There are plenty of items that you can place in your blue container that can be recycled that are not a CA CRV item. Items such as:
PAPER, cardboard or chipboard boxes
GLASS bottles or jars
METAL food cans
PLASTIC bottles OR jugs
**PLACE recyclable materials in the blue container loosely, NOT bagged. All plastic bags go into your GRAY trash container or can be recycled at most major stores.
