PPMG stands for paper, plastic, metal and glass - the four materials accepted in your recycling. If you're ever unsure about something being recyclable, send an email or text us using TextMyGov, and we can help determine where it goes. Otherwise, toss that one item in the trash to avoid contaminating your entire recycling container! Contaminated containers become trash or get left at the curb, so stick to recycling PPMG for a smooth pickup.
