Tempe now accepts plastic and paper takeout cups for recycling. This includes coffee cups with sleeves and soda cups. Before placing them in your blue bin, please ensure lids and straws are removed.
Bagging recyclables or placing the wrong items in the blue bin can lead to contamination, sending loads to the landfill, so it is important to ensure you are following Tempe’s guidelines.
