Many of us are using more cleaning and personal protective items these days and it can be confusing which items go in the garbage and which can be recycled. Here’s a quick guide Garbage: Face masks and face shields Used facial tissues and paper towels Plastic gloves All wipes (even those labelled flushable or biodegradable) and wipe bags and boxes Empty hand sanitizer bottles smaller than 6 oz Make sure all garbage is bagged and securely tied to avoid litter to protect the safety of waste collectors and the community. Recycling: Cardboard boxes from tissues, soap
