What is accepted for recycling curbside in Clearwater?
• Newspaper and its inserts Plastic bottles marked #1 & #2 Aluminum cans Steel (tin) cans Mixed Paper In addition, the drop-off center at 1701 N. Hercules Avenue has containers for all of these materials, and also for corrugated (carton) cardboard. Materials set out at the curb in the residential program can be commingled, but it is helpful if paper is set at one end of the bin, with the other materials alongside. Residents may also place paper in a brown grocery bag or other paper bag placed next to the yellow bin. All recyclable containers (plastic bottles, aluminum, steel) should be empty and rinsed. Labels need not be removed, but lids from plastic bottles and containers should be removed and discarded. Crushing cans and plastic bottles is optional, but this will conserve space in the bin.
