1. Size Requirements
Recycling has to be larger than a credit card. The diagram on the right is sized correctly for reference.
2. No Trash Bags
Any objects recycled cannot be in a bag, and they have to be loose in the bin.
3. No Food Grease
If there is food grease on the item, it is contaminated and can't be recycled.
4. Labels are Inconsequential
Labels and stickers don't need to be peeled off before recycling; item should be dry.
5. Keep Caps on Items
In order to pass the credit card rule, keep the cap on top of bottles.
As seen on cover, only these seven items can be recycled.
