Congrats on not loading up landfills.
Not everyone takes recycling as far as you do. Some towns don't want
contaminated paper such as pizza boxes or saturated meat wrappers,
coated papers, anything with biological contamination. .


That's the case here in NJ too. Styrofoam packaging is another
example. Or the plastic wrappers around some consumer packages.
Used paper towels, rags, used paper plates, bubble pack material,
meat bones, chicken carcass.
