What you should and should not recycle

Republic Services has a list of what can and can't be recycled on recyclingsimplified.com

The company says all recyclables should be empty, clean and dry -- meaning they are free of food and liquid. Never put recyclables in bags or containers.

Items you can put in your recycling bin:

• Paper and cardboard
• Metal cans
• Plastic bottles and jugs
• Glass (preferably not broken)

Items you should never put in your bin:

• Food waste
• Soiled or wet paper and cardboard
• Bottles filled with liquid
• Coffee cups
• Styrofoam
• Plastic bags

Republic Services Manager Bill Brinkley says when in doubt, throw it out.
