Recycling Tips:
- It is best to place your recyclables out the morning of pick-up, this will help prevent scavengers
- Please rinse out bottles and jars and remove all tops and caps
- Cardboard boxes are gladly accepted, please flatten them first
- If your recyclables exceed your container size please place the excess in plastic or paper bags and set next to your recycling container - do not place the extra bags too close to your trash container or they may be recognized as excess trash
- Resident tip: some residents who have a significant amount of recyclables choose to place their trash and recycling containers on opposite sides of the driveway to ensure proper identification
- For additional FREE blue recycling containers call Waste Management at (310) 830-7100
- If you have bulky-items that can be reused or are too big for the container, contact Waste Management to schedule a FREE bulky-item pickup
