The six categories <br />are: <br />1. Curbside recyclables. This category includes the typical papers, bottles, and cans <br />that most people in the state can recycle at the curb. <br />2.. Drop o~recyclables. This category includes recyclables that currently have <br />drop-off options in. Minnesota such as carpet, textiles, and plastic bags. <br />3. Compostables. This category includes food scraps, yard Lvaste that is currently <br />in the MSW stream, and non-recyclable paper. These numbers do not include <br />the yard waste currently being handled as colalpost as these numbers are not <br />currently tracked by these state reports. <br />4. Wood/Tires/Electronics. This includes any wood waste currently in the <br />MSW. Electronics includes computers, peripherals and other items labeled <br />"electronics." Tires include used tires and items labeled "rubber." <br />Page 9 <br />
