Important Notes
To facilitate the sorting of mixed construction recyclables or mixed trash and construction recyclables, all project materials must be deconstructed by hand and placed into containers without being attached to any other type of material. Drywall must be removed from 2×4s; shingles and siding must be removed from sheathing, etc. Nails are OK. Projects cannot be taken down with mechanical equipment and then placed into the containers without first deconstructing the materials by hand.
