With Single Stream Recycling You No Longer Have to Sort
We provide Single Stream recycling as a part of our Denver area recycling program.
Single stream recycling allows all recycling to be placed in one container with sorting done at the recycling plants. This makes it easier for anyone to make recycling part of their daily routine.
Recycle is picked-up every other week on your normal trash day. Please note that plastic bags should not be mixed in your recyclables. To help prevent this and make recycling even easier for you, do not line your recycling receptacle with a trash or other form of plastic bag.

Helpful Hints on Recycling Certain Products
Not sure whether the item is recyclable or not? Here are some quick rules of thumb to consider for each type of material many would consider recyclable:
Plastics: Only recycle plastic bottles and tubs. This is typically a #1 through #7 plastic and only pertains to the bottles and tubs. Here are some examples of plastic bottles that are okay to recycle:
- Soda, water, and juice bottles
- Liquid detergent and other cleaning supply bottles
- Condiment bottles (ketchup, mustard, etc)
- Milk jugs and orange juice jugs (no paper cartons)
- Shampoo bottles and liquid soap dispensers
- Peanut butter jars (please rinse out)
- Butter and yogurt tubs
Steel: Please make sure any aerosol cans are totally empty. This would include containers such as shaving cream and hairspray cans. Labels are okay.
Cardboard: Make sure to flatten cardboard. No wax-lined cardboard is accepted in the recycling mix. Wax-lined cardboard can be composted in a different service.
