Know Your Local Rules: Recycling guidelines vary significantly by municipality. Always check your local waste management website.
Rinse Containers: Food residue can contaminate entire batches of recycling. A quick rinse is usually enough.
Flatten Cardboard: This saves space in your bin and in the collection truck.
