Here is the scoop from Maurice Sampson on what to recycle.

Begin forwarded message:
Greetings,
Starting January 5th the City of Philadelphia will be collecting
recyclables every week, on the same day as your trash collection
rather than bi-weekly as it has been. This should make it a great
deal easier for everybody to recycle as you will no longer have to
remember which week you put your recyclables out on!
The more we recycle and reuse, the more money we can save the city!
Every ounce counts!
What you can recycle in the city's recycling collection:
Metal:
Tin and aluminum cans, empty aerosol cans, empty paint cans
Glass:
Jars and bottles
Mixed Paper:
Newspaper, magazines, mail (junk and personal), phone books, food
boxes (remove plastic liner), computer paper, flyers, wrapping paper
(no foil or plastic wrap), soda and beer cartons (no food-soiled
paper, please!)
Plastic Containers:
Recycle #1 and #2 plastics ONLY (mostly beverage and detergent
containers). These containers have narrow necks and wider bottoms.
Check the underside of each container for the number 1 or 2. All
container lids are recyclable and best if removed from containers.
Corrugated Cardboard:
Empty and flattened
Put your recyclables in bins. You can use an official city
container, or other containers of approximate 25 gallons or less
clearly labelled that it's recycling. You don't need an official
city containter to recycle, an old kitchen trashcan or laundry
baskets, paper bags, 5-gallon buckets, etc. are perfectly good to
put your recyclables out in.
If you want an official city bin you can pick them up at the
following locations:
Northwest
Domino Lane & Umbria Street Monday - Saturday 8am to 6pm
Northeast
State Road & Ashburner Street Monday - Saturday 8am to 6pm
North, Fishtown
Delaware Avenue between Castor Avenue & Lewis Street Monday -
Saturday 8am to 6pm
West
51st Street & Grays Avenue Monday - Saturday 8am to 6pm
South, Southwest
3033 South 63rd Street (near Passyunk Avenue) Monday . Saturday 8am
to 6pm
or your local city Recreation Centers may have bins.
