On Super Bowl Sunday - Cheer loud. Waste less.
Super Bowl parties create recyclables — aluminum cans, plastic bottles, and cardboard can all get a second life when recycled correctly. Thanks for helping keep valuable materials out of the landfill.

Did you know? Plastic bottles should be recycled with the lid ON.
Loose caps can fall through equipment and end up as trash. Empty the bottle, put the lid back on, and recycle — easy win. Loose lid, no bottle? Put it in the orange bag!

Quick shout out to NFL fans: Be sure to separate cans and plastic bottles & cups, flatten cardboard, including pizza boxes and place them in your recycle bin! Please bring glass bottles to a drop off site & keep food scraps out of the recycling bin. #Recycling #Winning
