TIPS TO MAKE RECYCLING SUCCESSFUL
 

• DO put out one recycling container for each trash barrel and place them right
  next to each other.

• DO label all containers clearly so that no one is confused as to what belongs
  in them.

• DO use lids on the recycling containers that have just the right sized holes
  for bottles and cans-- this prevents contamination.
