Pack your bags
like a pro
✅ Keep your soft plastics separate
Keep soft plastics separate to avoid contaminating other items like clothes. Pro tip: pack them into one bag to save space and fit more!
✅ Leave small items on top.
Place small items on top to prevent them from getting lost or missed during sorting, ensuring maximum recycling.
No need to be home on pickup day.
Simply leave your bags at your doorstep or next to your mailbox for collection.
