NORTH RIDGEVILLE – WHAT GOES IN THE BLUE BAGS?

At this time Allied Waste (formerly BFI) is accepting type 1 and 2 plastic, glass jars, and bottles, aluminum and steel cans, and newspaper.

Residents are asked to separate the newspapers from the other items and place in a separate blue bag. Any other materials placed in these bags creates a problem in sorting and could result in the bag being land-filled instead of recycled.
