Recycling Preparation Guide
How to Prepare Your Materials Before Coming to the Transfer Station
Preparing your materials for disposal at the transfer station is easy and doesn’t require a lot of work. The main thing to remember is to keep your garbage separate from your recyclables.
Using separate bags for your garbage and recyclables is the easiest way to keep them separate. Please don’t use the Tribe’s blue bags to dispose of your garbage at the transfer station; you may use your bags if you bring your garbage to the transfer station. Please prepare your recyclables according to the Tribe’s recycling guide.
- Recyclables should be empty and clean - rinse away all residue - remove and recycle metal caps and lids - it is not necessary to remove labels or metal and plastic rings - break down / flatten cardboard boxes.
