Dry Waste Recycling: What Goes in the Blue Stream

Dry recyclables are materials that can be processed and reused — but only if they stay clean and separate.

Include: clean paper, cardboard, plastic bottles, metal cans, and glass containers.

Exclude: food-contaminated packaging, greasy paper, and mixed-material items.

Rinse containers briefly before placing in your dry recyclables drawer or bin.

In BioLoop-60, the 12L dry recyclables drawer keeps this stream separate from organics and reject waste.
