What if I have excess recycling and need more than one recycling container at the curb?

Each resident is able to put out additional containers for their recyclables. Containers must be clearly labeled “recycling” for our employees. The old BPU yellow bins, new blue bins or cardboard boxes may be used for additional recycling. The bin with the RFID tag MUST be put at the curb with recycling items to receive the credit. Please do not bag or cover recyclables.
