WYWRA Recycle accepts three main recyclable materials including:

​

• Cardboard

  • Make sure to flatten your cardboard and place it into your bin so that the lid is not ajar. Ensure the lid remains closed as rain and snow will cause cardboard weight to increase rapidly. Wet, heavy cardboard can cause damage to equipment.

 

• Household Aluminum and Tin

  • For tin can lids, simply place the top back into the container and squeeze closed.

  • Paper can be left on the cans.

 

• Drinking Beverage Containers

  • Please rinse all containers before placing in the bin.

Household Hazardous Waste

​

Household hazardous waste is the discarded, unused or leftover portion of household products containing chemicals that can cause illness or death to people, plants and animals. These products are often labeled CAUTION, WARNING, CORROSIVE, EXPLOSIVE, FLAMMABLE, POISONOUS or TOXIC. Common household hazardous wastes include aerosols, cleaning solvents, oils, paints, pesticides and batteries. These and many other types of hazardous materials should not be put in your garbage or recycling bins, dumped on the ground or poured down the drain.
