Preparing Your Recyclables
If your recyclables are not properly prepared, they won't be collected in the curbside program and they'll create problems at the drop-off sites. Please adhere to the following instructions:
CANS - All aluminum and steel cans and lids are collected.
- All cans must be rinsed, but labels may be left on.
- Pinch the open end of all "tin" cans so that aluminum cans cannot slip inside of them.
- Empty aerosol/paint cans are acceptable.
- Metal jar lids and bottle caps are acceptable.
- All other types of metal scrap are prohibited.
GLASS – All Glass
- Please rinse and remove all metal.
- Place rinsed, mixed glass in your curbside bin.
- Place rinsed mixed clear & green and brown glass in appropriate (separate) barrels at drop-off sites.
- Light bulbs and tempered glass and automotive are not accepted.
- Glass containers from laboratories are not accepted.
PAPERS - Important paper guidelines
- Newspapers and all its supplements, light colored office paper, junk mail, magazines and phone directories may be recycled together.
CARDBOARD - Corrugated ONLY
- Only corrugated cardboard is accepted. It must have a wavy center section between the inside and outside layers.
- Flattened corrugated cardboard may be dropped off at any time at the North City Market and Recycling Center locations.
- Small amounts of flattened corrugated cardboard are collected at the curb when cut to a size no larger than 3'x3' and placed under your blue bin. If you have large amounts, please take them to the Durango Recycling Center at 710 Tech Center Dr.
