Single Sort Recycling
How:
Residents of St. Paul Park have the option of "single-sort" recycling. There is no need to sort your recyclables by item. Simply place the recyclables together in your recycling bin or cart.
Recyclables (curbside):
Empty and rinse all containers. Do not place your recyclables in a plastic bag. When in doubt, keep it out. Putting non-recyclable items in your recycling cart does more harm than good.
- Glass (bottles and jars)
- Metal (Food and beverage cans)
- Plastic #1, 2, 5 (bottles and containers)
- Cartons
- Paper and cardboard
