whatbin.comRecology’s answer to what goes in what bin
Do Not Litter Personal Protective Equipment
Disposable face masks and gloves belong in the black garbage bin, not on the street. These items are
not recyclable or compostable.
Put Plastic Utensils in the Garbage
Plastic utensils are not recyclable and should be disposed in the
black garbage bin. Wipes Clog PipesNever flush wipes in your toilet. Although these may be branded as “flushable” they can clog in
sewer pipes and cause plumbing backups. Toss wipes in the trash.

GARBAGE
Place batteries inside a sealed plastic bag and on top of your
closed black garbage bin.Batteries
