How clean does a container have to be before you recycle it?

Read MoreHow can we recycle paper at the office where I work?
I work in an accounting office and as you can imagine, 98% of our trash is all paper. There are several other offices in the area where ours is located so I would have assumed there would be some of kind of recycling bin… but there isn’t. Is this something I would have to bring up with the management of the building so we could begin getting these services? I live in San Diego (Southern California). Any kind of direction would help.
I should have mention we shred everything. While I love the idea of using both sides or saving paper for note-pads, the information we have is high-sensitive material and almost 100% of the time needs to be shredded.

I have this little empty bottle of Burt’s Bees blemish stick and I don’t know whether I should recycle it or throw it away, it’s clear glass and it feels thick like a bottle of soda.

I’ve read that most facilities will not accept textbooks in their original states because of the glue used in binding the books, but if you tear off the textbook’s cover and binding, can you throw the remaining pages into the recycling bin? The book in question is quite old, and not worth much money anymore. Thank you very much.
