How do I know what I can recycle for my zipcode/county?
We know that finding the right information of what you can or cannot put in the recycling bin can be extremely difficult. To save you time and effort we have compiled that information for you! Below you will find useful information for each zipcode/county. On the left side, there is a button that will take you to the most relevant website for your location with detailed recycling guidelines. In the middle, we have identified which plastics are collected and recycled (in green) and which are not recycled (in gray). On the right, we note any special considerations for that location.
