#1 Aluminum

• Clean aluminum beverage cans, pie pans, serving trays, cat food cans, and foil.
• Absolutely no other aluminum items, such as lawn furniture, automotive parts, or other related items.

#2 Paper

• Newspaper, printing paper, junk mail, shredded paper, magazines, paper sacks, and phone books, wax-free shipping paper.
• If it’s not listed above, it’s not allowed.

#3 Plastic Bottles

• Clean plastic bottles, jugs, and containers with Plastic #1-7 stamped.
• Plastic coat hangers, clothes baskets, PVC piping, patio furniture, electronics, and plastic bags are not a 1-7 container, so it doesn’t belong in your cart.
• Containers must be empty at a minimum and rinsed whenever possible.
• Place plastic tops back on containers prior to recycling.

#4 Cardboard

• Cardboard boxes, cereal, frozen food, and detergent cartons.
• That’s it—no other fiber products.
• If it’s not listed above, it’s not allowed.
• Wood, carpet, and textiles are sometimes made from natural fiber but they aren’t cardboard or cartons, so they don’t belong in your cart.
• Also, remove any plastic, Styrofoam, and other related packaging items and place them within your trash cart.
• Lastly, flatten all boxes to avoid overfilled carts.

#5 Tin

• Steel tin cans, vegetable, fruit, soup, etc. If it’s not a tin can, it doesn’t go into your recycling cart.
• Metal hangers, scrap metal, frying pans, automotive parts, or anything else that doesn’t resemble a can is not accepted.

Glass

• The current model for glass and the distance it must travel for processing is no longer a sustainable or eco-friendly option.
• WCoFAZ is constantly looking at ways of minimizing its carbon footprint and emissions created by recycling/manufacturing.
• Due to the composition of glass (sand), introducing it to landfill is safe and environmentally sound.

No Hazardous Waste!!!

ANYTHING NOT LISTED ABOVE IS NOT ALLOWED IN THE DUMPSTER!

• No oil, paint, batteries, liquids, construction debris, etc.
• If you witness any homeowner disposing of these items, please report to your property management.

Thank you for your understanding, it is truly WCoFAZ’s goal in making recycling beneficial to you, your community, and your planet. Let’s get on board with green!
