Dorchester History	Trash should be put in sealed plastic bags on the sidewalk early in the morning (or after 5 PM the night before). Trash Barrels should be covered, and the trash that is put in them should be in sealed plastic bags. If you store trash barrels outdoors, they must be tightly covered. Recycling Use blue plastic bins or a cardboard carton for glass and plastic bottles, tin cans, and milk cartons and cereal boxes. Cardboard should be placed UNDER the blue bin, not in it. Newspapers and magazines go BESIDE the blue bin in brown PAPER bags with the plastic removed. Unwanted TV sets and computers should not be left out with regular trash.
