recycling help!

Ok so almost two weeks ago I called the garbage company and asked them to deliver a recycling bin ( they're free to use through GC as long as when you move you return it, or transfer to you new address) so anyway, I was keeping all my recycables in our breakfast nook,  waiting for this bin to come... Well last night when I went out onto my porch it was finally here!... ( at like 11 pm!) So now I have questions, I crushed all the bright beginnings cans ( they are like soda cans only smaller) and beer cans ( we had a whresling pay-per-veiw party sunday night and for some reason people wanted to drink with having to work the next day...lmao)  So here are my questions... What about the beer bottles, do I have to remove the labels? and what about the labels on gatorade or juicy-juice bottles?? oh and do I remove the labels off of can goods?  And Can't I recycle milk jugs?.... Sorry for all this, I just wanna make sure I am doing this right.... Thank you for any help and advice ahead of time!
