Follow these tips to know what belongs in each bin to help reduce waste and contamination.
Recyclables
- Cardboard boxes (flatten before placing in the bin)
- Shopping catalogs
- Plain holiday cards and paper envelopes (no glitter or foil)
- Plastic bottles, cans and glass containers
Organics
- Small amounts of green waste (natural wreaths, garlands with no ribbons or wire)
- Uneaten holiday foods
- Small amounts of cooking grease (soak with paper towels before placing in the organics container)
Trash
- Envelopes with plastic padding
- Bubble wrap
- Wrapping paper with glitter or foil
- Bows and ribbons

Never dispose of hazardous materials (e.g., batteries, paint, etc.) or electronic materials (e.g., old holiday lights) in trash or recycling containers. Place electronic waste in your designated bulky item collection location and call WM Curbside at 800-499-7587 for free hazardous waste collection.
Prevent Organic Waste Generation
- Plan portions carefully to avoid over-preparing food.
- Donate excess edible food to local pantries or shelters.
- Use leftovers creatively—soups, casseroles, and sandwiches make great next-day meals.
- Freeze leftovers before they spoil.
- Share or exchange extra baked goods with neighbors and friends.
Greener Holiday Tips
- Reuse gift bags, bows, and ribbons next year.
- Avoid metallic or glittery wrapping paper.
- Donate gently used decorations.
- When in doubt, keep it out—help prevent contamination!
