- Newspapers and magazines
- Cardboard
- Unwanted mail

- Cereal boxes (without the plastic liner)
- Egg cartons
- Greeting cards

It’s important not to confuse containers for glass recyclables or dry recyclables with wheelie bins that are for green yard waste.

Recycling symbols are those images that appear on all kinds of products, articles and packaging so that consumers know what type of waste they are (recyclable or non-recyclable) and what material they are made of.
Recycling symbols are important because they guide us to manage our waste well. However, there are some products and packaging that have not been properly labeled and do not contain a recycling label.
If you have waste that you don’t know how to classify, contact your nearest recycling center.
