What is Single-Stream Residential Recycling?
Recycling doesn’t have to be complicated or time-consuming. In the past, different materials such as plastic and paper needed to be sorted into separate bins for collection. Now, with our single-stream recycling service, you can put all your recyclables into one bin. These items will then be sorted later, saving you the hassle.
Our residential recycling service not only simplifies the process, making it as easy as taking out the trash, but it also reduces collection costs. All you need to do is put your recyclables in a designated bin and place it curbside for pickup. This effortless approach to recycling makes it achievable for you and your family to maintain a more sustainable lifestyle.
In addition to saving the planet, you can also save room in your garbage collection bin by putting all recyclable materials into the recycling bin.

Even though single-stream recycling makes it easy and convenient to do your part in responsible resource conservation, you’ll still want to be mindful of what you can and can’t recycle. First, you’ll want to make sure you’re using an 18-gallon bin or a 95-gallon curbside recycling cart. We’ve provided a list of acceptable and non-acceptable recyclables below to take the guesswork out of recycling. Print out this list and hang it above your recycling bins for an even better reminder.

- Aluminum and tin (please rinse containers).
- Paper: newspaper, magazines, brown grocery bags, telephone books, catalogs, office paper, envelopes, cereal boxes, beverage boxes, frozen food packages, and juice boxes.

Why Should You Sign Up For Recycling Pickup?
Together, we can make a difference in the amount of trash that goes into our landfills. Did you know recycling is the top action society can do to simultaneously improve the environment, the economy, sustainable manufacturing, and prevent waste from entering our oceans? Despite this, recycling levels in the United States were at 32.1% in 2018—if that rate went up to 75%, it would be the environmental equivalent of taking 55 million cars from US roads each year! A 75% recycling rate among Americans would also produce about 1.5 million new jobs.
What Happens to Recyclable Materials After They Leave the Curb?
Some people are especially concerned about protecting the environment, and they want to know what happens to the recyclable materials that Abe’s Trash picks up. We bring these materials to a sorting factory that separates and sorts all of the recyclable materials. These materials are then bundled together into “bales.” These bales are sent to manufacturers to use to create new products. Pretty neat.
