So many people have no idea what the city accepts for recycling. Unfortunately, JUST BECAUSE SOMETHING IS RECYCLABLE, DOESN’T MEAN THE CITY TAKES IT. Check out the charts and info below for a few quick points you may not have known:

METAL
More good news; they take anything made of all or mostly metal like kitchen utensils, pots and pans, metal hangers, keys, small metal appliances…
