Return tips

Prior to returning, wipe down the recycling and organics containers to remove all sticky residue. Return all containers on time.

Recycle bottles and cans:

1. Know where you will take your recycling. Remember that plastic bags are not recyclable. You must remove the cans and bottles from the plastic bags before recycling, or they will not be recycled. The bags can go in the trash.
    
2. Arrange for pick-up service with a recycling hauler. A list can be found at BizRecycling.com.
    
3. Bring cans and bottles directly to:
   Advanced Disposal
   309 Como Ave., Saint Paul, 55103
   651-487-8546
    
4. If you collected a small number of bottles and cans, recycle them at home in your curbside recycling bin.

Compost organics:

1. Ask your trash or recycling hauler if they can provide pick-up service at your event.
    
2. If you collect five bags or fewer:
   Bring them to the organics recycling collection sites.
    
3. If you collect more than five bags:
   Call 651-266-1199 for approval to bring to the organics recycling collection sites.
    
4. Bring organics directly to:
   The Mulch Store
