It can save you and your recycling program up to $750,000 annually. Keep your plastic bags together. If you still bring home plastic grocery and retail bags, empty your plastic bags by turning them inside out. Stuff your empty plastic bags into one bag. Once your collection of bags exceeds what you need around the house, tie the top of the bag of bags and place in your recycling bin. At the recycling facility, it will be much easier for our staff to recover a bag of bags than trying to hand pick millions of bags one al a time. Remove and dispose of plastic lids smaller than 3 inches. Any plastic lids smaller than 3 inches will contaminate our malerials. The removal of the lids also helps making sure that all liquids have been emptied from your bottles so they can be sorted properly by our equipment. It also reduces our shipping cost and ultimately yours. Do not flatten your containers such as metal cans, milk containers and aseptic juice boxes. Our equipment separates containers from paper based on their shape. By flatten- ing these containers, they behave like paper. This misdirection makes them extremely dif- ficult to find in a pile of paper and creates a contaminant for paper fibres reducing the value of the commodity and ultimately increasing your cost. Place and Pinch metal cans for everyone's safety. Place the metal lid inside the can and pinch the lop to keep it there.
