# Recycling Guidelines

Here at Recyclops, we want to do all that we can to increase efficiency and [maximize the amount of items that can be recycled](https://ask.recyclops.com/i-feel-like-recycling-should-be-easier-than-this.-why-are-there-so-many-rules?hsLang=en). A general list of guidelines are listed below to ensure that proper policy and procedure are being followed for pickups:

- We accept [paper](https://ask.recyclops.com/how-to-recycle-paper?hsLang=en), [plastic](https://ask.recyclops.com/how-to-recycle-plastic?hsLang=en), [aluminum](https://ask.recyclops.com/how-to-recycle-aluminum/metal?hsLang=en), [cardboard](https://ask.recyclops.com/how-to-recycle-cardboard?hsLang=en) and [glass](https://ask.recyclops.com/how-to-recycle-glass?hsLang=en) ([with subscription](https://recyclops.com/signup/glass/)) items. For a more in depth list of the specific items we accept, please consult your area's Waste Wizard or [location page.](https://recyclops.com/locations/)
- **Bag and tie** your recyclables in the designated 13-gallon Recyclops bags 
    - Teal/Blue: Paper, paperboard/small cardboard, plastic, and aluminum/tin products (mixed recycling items)
    - Yellow/Green: Glass only ([where we offer service](https://recyclops.com/locations/))
    - We ask that you keep your bagged items within about a 4-5 bag limit

- Large Corrugated Cardboard can be left outside of the bags, but **must be broken down and flattened** for collection. We ask that you limit the amount of cardboard to about 8-10 large flattened boxes. 
    - [Paperboard items](https://ask.recyclops.com/how-to-recycle-paper?hsLang=en) fall under the "Paper" Category and are required to be bagged to prevent from flying out of the driver vehicles
    - Corrugated Cardboard that is less than 18" in length is required to be bagged to prevent from flying out of the driver vehicles
- [Clean all items](https://ask.recyclops.com/do-my-recyclables-have-to-be-clean-for-collection?hsLang=en) and ensure they are free from food debris and other residues.
- Recycling placed at curb for collection ([unless specified differently by your area](https://recyclops.com/locations/))
- Collection Times are from 10pm the night before pickup to 7pm the day of pickup.

Any recyclables found to not be in accordance with the above guidelines will **NOT** be collected.

**Please Note:**

For **Wasatch County, UT** customers, the use of the teal bags for mixed recycling are not required as you are allowed to use your own white or transparent 13-gallon plastic bags instead. For **Casper, WY** customers, the use of bags are not required as your location is ["cart only"](https://recyclops.com/locations/wyoming/natrona/casper/).
