It's easiest to have a container or two set up where it happens. Like a bin in the kitchen for bottles and cans you’ve washed out, and another in the office for used paper and mail. Just remember that with single stream recycling, it can all go in the same bin – we do the sorting for you.
This one's easy. You can use any sturdy plastic or metal container that holds 32 gallons or less and just mark it with the word "RECYCLING" on its side. Don't use cardboard boxes as containers; they'll end up wet, split open and make a mess on your sidewalk. Instead, flatten them and place them in your bin to be recycled with your bottles, cans and paper. If one bin is not enough to hold all recyclables, simply add another container.
The City will give you a recycling bin at any of these locations. But you don't have to have one. You can use any rigid household container (no larger than 32 gallons), as long as you write "RECYCLING" on it.
For more information, call the Philadelphia Recycling Hotline at 215-685-RECYCLE (7329).
