The document is a bilingual (English and Spanish) Mixed Recycling instructional poster for the Washington County Solid Waste & Recycling (SWR) program, serving unincorporated Washington County and 10 cities in Oregon. The poster provides detailed guidance on proper recycling practices, specifically categorizing acceptable recyclable materials into three main groups: paper and cardboard, metal, and plastic bottles/containers. The poster clearly illustrates and lists the types of items that can be recycled, including cereal boxes, newspapers, metal cans, plastic bottles over 6 oz., and other common household recyclables.

The poster emphasizes what should NOT be included in mixed recycling, such as plastic bags, glass, lids, and general garbage. This educational material is part of the SWR program's outreach efforts to inform residents and businesses about correct recycling procedures, which supports the county's waste management and sustainability goals. The bilingual design ensures the information is accessible to a broader community population, reflecting the diverse linguistic needs of Washington County, Oregon.
