Blue bins are the place where you put items that you want to throw away, but which can be recycled. Recycling some of your waste keeps our landfills from filling up too quickly and makes for a greener planet. To use your blue bin, just put your recyclable items directly in the bin (without putting them in a bag first). If the item previously held food or other liquid waste, rinse the container out first.
