License Plates
New York State is issuing new gold license plates. You can recycle your old plates with the commingled recycling. First, use a permanent ink marker to cross out the plate number or otherwise deface the plates. Also, for your own protection, separate the plates and put them in the commingled recycling bin (plastics 1 though 7, metal and glass) during different weeks.
