Keep your trash cart from overflowing by making the most of your recycling cart. Basic items that can be recycled are metal, glass, paper, cardboard, and plastics numbered 1, 2 and 5. Rinse and shake dry before adding containers to the cart.
Easy items to identify for recycling:
- Food and beverage cans
- Plastics numbers 1, 2 and 5 - empty water and soda bottles; detergent and milk jugs; plastic yogurt or butter tubs; shampoo and soap bottles
- Glass beverage bottles without lids
- Paper and cardboard in postcard size and larger
- Place flattened large empty boxes with your weekly yard trimmings to make more room in your recycling cart. Go to Plano.gov/Recycling for other tips to recycle.
Never place cords or clothing in your recycling cart. Your old electronics and Christmas tree lights are only accepted as drop-offs at Community Recycling Events. Bring live trees to drop-off recycling sites after they are stripped of decorations.
