RECYCLING TIPS:
            Put all recycling into the same container, no need to separate
            You don’t need to rinse or clean recycling and you can include labels, caps and lids
            You may put out an unlimited amount of recycling
            Use the yellow recycling container provided by the County, or any container of your choice marked with a large “X”
            Place large recycling items next to your recycling container
            When in doubt, place the item in your recycling container and the County will handle it!
