Garbage 

• Bag your garbage and tie up securely. Loose trash may put garbage drivers and the community at risk.
• All personal protective equipment and sanitary products are garbage. This includes disposable face masks, gloves, disinfectant wipes, cotton swabs, facial tissues and paper towels.
• All "to-go" boxes, containers, cups and utensils are garbage.
• Flush only toilet paper. Items marketed as "flushable" do not degrade and will block plumbing and septic system pipes, which can cause costly damage.

• Recycling, unlike garbage, should never be bagged. All items should be empty, clean and dry.
• Hand sanitizer bottles, six ounces or larger, are recyclable. Remove lids and pumps and place those in the trash.
• Aerosol disinfectant spray bottles can be recycled when completely emptied. Remove and throw away the cap.
• Rigid, plastic tubs, such as the packaging for disinfectant wipes, can be recycled. Remove the lid and place it in the trash.
• Additional resources for recycling right are available here.
