For recycling to work, it is critical that the correct items are placed in the appropriate bin. Please also remember that you cannot place recycled items contained in plastic trash bags in the recycling bins. You must dump the recycling contents out of the plastic trash bag and into the proper bins. 

Additionally, the Community Recycling Site is not a dump site for any and all waste. The site is under 24-hour surveillance and violators can be ticketed and fined, per the Gypsum Municipal Code per Title 8.
