If a route driver deems that a resident has improperly prepared their recyclables, the driver will leave a "Reminder" tag describing the correct list of items accepted and how they should be prepared. This is a friendly learning tool for the resident. If the driver picks up inawraoriate material- the resident will he unaware of the correct program.
