Curbside RECYCLING
The contractor is not required to collect any materials in a blue box which are overly contaminated with food residue or where there is a health risk to the collector (e.g. broken glass, hazardous materials, and bee or wasp problems). The non-collectable material will be left in the blue box with a courtesy tag explaining why it was not picked up.
