Whenever possible, please use the brown bag to hold paper materials. The brown bag can be placed on top of or next to the recycling bin on collection day.

Remove your bin from the curb as soon as possible after it is emptied to keep it from blowing down the block or into the street.

Use a black marker to put your address on your bin so it can be returned to you, or you may wish to write your address on a piece of white adhesive tape and attach it to your bin in the event it is blown away..

Loading your bin properly, with newspapers on the bottom and other recyclables on top, will keep the papers from blowing out on windy days..
