Our Top Tips for Great Recycling Practices

If you take even small steps toward recycling more, it makes a big difference in the long run. Gradually, recycling becomes easier and second nature. We’re here to help! There are many simple ways to make recycling a daily part of your life, especially if you’re working on summer renovation projects, backyard garden clean up or just social distancing. 

Here are some tips for recycling on a small scale:

  • Have containers throughout your home that make collecting recycled materials more convenient.
  • Break down large items, such as cardboard boxes, before putting in your recycling bin.
  • Rinse plastic, glass, and metal containers before collecting for recycling.
  • Recycle newspapers, wrapping paper, scrap paper, envelopes, and phone books.

If you’re working on a larger scale project, but aim to recycle as much as possible, you can check your local city refuse website to see what is accepted in your part of Nevada. You’re also welcome to discuss recyclable materials and our recycling process with our team when you’re ready to schedule a roll-off delivery.
