Whether you are bringing in or recycling at curbside, there are some items that while still in good condition and useful, cannot be accepted at our facility.  It doesn't mean that these items are not recyclable or usable somewhere, it's just that we do not accept them here.  We encourage you to investigate other outlets, such as thrift shops, that might accept what you have; it might require some time and effort on your part, but in the long run it will be worth it !
