| How do you Recycle?
It's fun and easy! Simply save all your newspapers, mixed paper, glass, plastics, metal cans and used motor oil and take them to the Recycling Center.
NEWSPAPER: Keep newspapers in manageable
bundles. The newspapers should not be bound with twine, wire, etc. or encased in bags.
MIXED PAPER: Bring your magazines, old telephone books, office paper, cereal boxes, paper egg cartons and junk mail. Separate from newspapers. We cannot accept carbon paper, waxed cartons, laminated paper or styrofoam.
GLASS: Rinse glass thoroughly. It must be color-
separated, but this may be done at the Center. Clear, green or brown glass only.
PLASTIC: #1 PET and #2 HDPE beverage bottles and milk, water and juice jugs are accepted. Bottles and jugs should be rinsed and crushed. No lids.
METAL CANS: Beverage, soup, juice, cans etc. will be accepted. They should be rinsed thoroughly leaving no food and labels removed, if possible. Crush the aluminum!
OIL: Used motor oil can be recycled. Don't dump it down the drain -that pollutes our water. Put it in clean plastic containers and bring it with you to the Recycling Center. Discard plastic containers at the Center.
LEAVES: Leaves are recyclable, too! From November through December, rake them to the curb, and we will vacuum them on a weekly schedule for composting. No sticks, branches, etc. Check the local newspaper for more information during the fall. Otherwise, through the rest of year, we will collect bagged leaves at the curb. |
