It is very important that only recyclable materials go into the blue recycling containers.

Tips on how to prepare your recyclables:

• Recyclables should be clean and empty
• Do not bag recyclables, leave loose in container
• No items smaller than 2"x2" (i.e., utensils, straws, small dressing or condiment cups)

Building Management will work very closely with the tenants, cleaning staff, and the recycling contractor to ensure that all recyclable materials are put into the recycling containers and that only “trash” is put into the trash containers. Compliance with Recycling is mandatory by D.C. Law.
