What about aluminum foil, trays, and pie pans?

These are also recyclable, but they must be squeaky clean. The issue we have ran into is people tossing their dirty ones in, which means they will be landfilled. We have stopped saying we accept them for this reason. Usually when I get this question and I can tell they are diligent with their recycling, I will give them the explanation and give them the okay to toss them in, again as long as they’re clean.
