What is Single-Stream Recycling? Single-stream is a recycling process that doesn't require consumers to do any sorting. All recyclable items are placed in the same bin and mixed in the collection truck. These materials are later sorted out at a Materials Recovery Facility (MRF).

In designated communities, we offer curbside collection of bulk items and white goods, which means literally everything AND the kitchen sink. If you have furniture, appliances or a mattress you wish to discard, contact your local Advanced Disposal facility to learn about our bulk item service.
