Above: One way to keep paper products separate from your containers is to put each in its own recycling bin as shown above. The recycling bins can also be stacked on top of each other to keep the paper from blowing around.
Above: Another option is put paper products in a paper bag, such as the two shown above. Never put any recycling in plastic bags. Plastic bags get tangled in Solid Waste Services sorting equipment.

Above: The garbage, recycling and yard trimmings are too close to each other.
The garbage truck will have trouble emptying the cart, and the garbage cart may block the recycling and yard trimmings from view.
