CARTONS Cartons fill up the typical lunch bag! Those juice boxes, milk cartons and soup containers you enjoy daily are recyclable. This type of packaging is easy to recognize and can be found in your home and on store shelves in both refrigerated and non- refrigerated forms.

SNAGS IN THE SYSTEMPlastic bags are the kryptonite of single stream recyclers. Their presence causes MRF machinery to not function properly.

Anything newspaper sized or smaller falls through the screen to the next belt. This includes small containers, metals and paper. Larger items continue on top and head to the QC station.
