Trash: silverware (unless it says “compostable” on it), plastic packaging, wrappers (chips, dressing, etc), plastic wrap
Organics/Compost: Paper take-out containers, clear EcoProducts salad/fruit containers, napkins, any food waste
Recycle: Empty bottles, cans, milk cartons, juice cartons, small fruit/smoothie/granola cups with a #1 or #6 recycle symbol
