Know What to Recycle
Please empty recyclables out of bags and boxes so that they can be easily sorted. Plastic bags are considered trash and El Dorado Disposal would like recyclable products to be placed in the recycle cart free and loose, without bags. Clean paper bags and cardboard boxes are recyclable. Just put them in your recycling cart after you empty them. Check our guide below for more information on what items are acceptable and unacceptable for recycling.
