The key is to focus on the basics and keep recycling simple. You will create the greatest benefits by following these easy steps at the holidays and all year round:

Focus Recycling Efforts
Recycle all your bottles, cans, paper, and cardboard. If you're not sure whether something can be recycled, put it in the trash. Adopt the saying, "when in doubt, throw it out.

The Shape of Plastic Matters
With plastics, use the shape of the bottle to determine if it can be recycled. Recycle all bottle, tub and jug-shaped plastics. If it's a clamshell, flower pot, tube, or another shape, remember the saying "when in doubt, throw it out."

Set A Reminder For Pickup
Set a reminder on your calendar for your monthly recycling pickup day. If you want to start recycling, contact Waste Management at (505) 327-6284.

Simplify Recycling for Guests
Hosting a holiday party? Set up a specially-marked recycling container to collect empty aluminum cans and plastic bottles. Empty every drop of liquid before

GLASS RECYCLING

While glass isn't allowed in your Waste Management recycling bin at home, you can bring it to either Waste Management recycling drop off sites. Drop your empty glass bottles with the lids removed into the separate bin for glass at both locations, and it will be put to its next best use.
