Here are some tips for recycling right:
- Keep a separate recycling container or paper bag next to your garbage can.
- Post a list of what items you can recycle next to your recycling container or on your refrigerator.
- Save and reference Saint Paul and Ramsey County annual recycling guides that come in the mail.
- View a list of materials accepted for recycling at stpaul.gov/recycle.
