If You Tested Positive for COVID-19, Should You Stop Putting Your Recyclable Items in Dumpsters for Recyclables?

https://kab.org/recycling-tips-during-covid-19/ This was the only advice on this I was able to find this evening --- advice that was posted online on March 30, 2020, I might add --- when I attempted to obtain an answer to this question through Googling: "If you or someone in your home has tested positive for the coronavirus, do not recycle your recyclables; place them in a bag that is securely closed and discard them in your trash container. This also applies to any used cleaning supplies, paper towels, tissues, or personal protective equipment (PPE) generated within a home or business with someone who has tested positive." This advice comes from the "Keep America Beautiful" non-profit organization. The online website for Keep American Beautiful bears a copyright date of 2019.

It is possible that advice on this subject has been revised in the multi-month time period since March 2020.
