What should I recycle in my 32-gal recycling can?

Many of you are ordering our 32-gallon blue recycling can.  Thanks!  We look forward to receiving the items you collect in them.

This week, our mailbag included this email:

I would like to cancel my request for the lid-covered recycle container. My neighbor has one, and informed me that it is only for paper materials.

Oops!  Actually, the paper-only rule applies just to our wheeled cart.

Here's a little summary of what materials to place into which container:

• blue bin: metal cans, glass and plastic bottles, and glass jars
• blue can: metal cans, glass and plastic bottles, and glass jars
• wheeled cart: paper only

And yes, given this additional information, the resident decided to cancel the request to cancel the order.  A blue can is on the way!
