The most frequent questions we get are about what can and cannot go in the recycling bin. Below are some helpful recycling tips from articles to flyers to videos. At the bottom of this page, we've added a link to recycLA University, which is a collection of recycling webinars created by the recycLA service providers. You can also visit our Blue Bin Recycling page for a list of recyclable materials.
