- Disposable cutlery
- Milk bottles and takeout containers
- Toilet paper and paper towels
- Disposable coffee cups
- Stationery includes pens, binders, and CD-ROMs

Because certain disposable coffee cups are lined with plastic, they can’t really be placed in standard paper recycling bins. You must place all disposable coffee cups in red general garbage bins.
Approximately 80% of the general waste collected in these skip bins is recycled, including recyclables such as cans, bottles, and plastic containers that are separated by hand and machine.
