Summary

The presenter enumerated acceptable materials: paper, metal, jars, cups, plastic bottles and plastic containers labeled 1, 2 and 5, cardboard, and glass bottles and jars. She emphasized the county’s acceptance rules: “El condado de Hennepin solo acepta recipientes con los números 1, 2 y 5 para reciclar.”
