Each recycling depot provides bins to collect your recyclables in 4 different categories:

CARDBOARD, GLASS, MIXED PAPER, PLASTICS & CANS

Please remember any contamination can cause a whole load of recycables to be sent to the landfill instead of being recycled. So please ensure items are rinsed and placed in the correct bin.
