Is it zero sort recycling here, or do I need to separate my cans/bottles/plastic from the paper??

cans and bottles in a clear plastic garbage bag, same but separate for newspapers, black plastic garbage bag for the rest

Single Stream Recycling....all recyclables go in a clear trash bag.

That's correct. And garbage goes in a black or colored plastic bag or you can use a plastic bag from Beall's or Belk or such.

Thank you! I have that brochure from districtgov.org but it doesn't specifically say that all recyclables can be mixed together (it doesn't say they need to be separated, either!). Thus my question.

I put all recyclables in the same clear bag and have never had a problem. They have always taken them.
