How Clean is Clean Enough?

  • Does anything drip or leak out of your recyclable item? If yes, pour it out and dry before placing it in the blue can
  • Do not run your recyclables in the dishwasher
  • One good wipe with a paper towel or dishrag is good enough for the recycling can
  • Ask yourself, "Can what is still in here smear or soil other paper recyclables?" If yes, then it’s too dirty to recycle
  • If cleaning a recyclable item would take too much water, then throw it out
