*If container is oversized it is unacceptable to deface it in any way to attempt to make the container in compliance. 

This includes but is not limited to cutting the container so that it may only hold 40 gallons or marking a line on the container to indicate 40 gallons.

**Recycling containers provided by the county are normally blue. 
If your recycling container is any other color or not issued from the county you are not exempt from this rule. 

Garbage in recycling containers will not only contaminate the bin but will also contaminate any future recyclables. These contaminated recyclables must then be disposed of in a land fill.
