Notes:
Recyclable plastic, glass, tin/steel cans and aluminum can be placed curbside in a designated recycling curbside bin. Recycling bins are available by contacting the municipality in which you live. Containers should be rinsed to remove all product from the container. Remove all caps and lids. Plastic caps can be placed in the trash. Metal lids can go into the recycling bin. Paper labels can be removed and recycled with your other paper.
Paper can be set out in paper bags or a cardboard box no larger than 3' x 3'. Flatten boxes to save space and cut down large pieces of cardboard to 3' x 3'. Paper should be bundled, bagged (paper) or boxed. It is important that paper be dry and free of food residue or bathroom waste. Remove plastic liners from boxes.
Collected containers are taken to the Brown County Materials Recovery Facility (MRF) for transport to the single-stream facility located in Outagamie County. There the containers are separated according to material type and prepared for shipment to manufacturers for the creation of new products. Paper is taken directly to a local mill where it is made into recycled paper products. Typically it takes less than 24 hours from the time it leaves your house to become a new piece of paper.
