Single stream recycling is a simplified system in which all kinds of recyclables such as plastics, paper, metal, and glass are placed into a single bin, which means customers don’t have to separate them. This waste stream is transported to a facility for sorting and processing.

With single stream recycling, materials such as plastics, paper, metal, and glass are disposed in the same bin. These recyclables are then collected all at once for separation at a local facility. This is the most convenient way for your business to comply with sustainable waste practices, and we even provide single stream bins for you.

Not just anything can be recycled. Inappropriate materials can contaminate recyclables, damage sorting facility equipment, and harm handlers. Acceptable single stream materials include:

• Plastic bottles
• Paper
• Cans
• Clean aluminum foil
• Cardboard
• Paper bags
• Clean glass jars and containers
• Magazines, catalogs, and newspaper
