Recycling Guidelines Distributed
The new recycling rules seem confusing at
first, but here's a simple guide:
Into bin #1:
Paper and Cardboard: Almost anything
that's paper-based. Flatten corrugated cartons. If you have
lots, stack and bind with twine. Pizza boxes (with no food
scraps) telephone books, etc.) Do NOT put cardboard milk and
juice cartons here -- they go in Bin #2 with the bottles.
Into bin #2:
Beverage Cartons, Bottles, Jars and Jugs
(both glass and plastic): This one isn't being followed very
well. Don't recycle glass and plastic items that are not
bottles, jars or jugs (such as plastic lids, yogurt containers,
etc.)! Put these into the regular garbage chute. Do put
milk and juice cartons here -- not with the cardboard.
Metal: Anything that's metal or
mostly metal. Cans, foil takeout containers (rinse them) and any
articles made of metal. (door knobs, wire hangers, you name it).
Note: Regular batteries go into the regular
garbage -- don't recycle. Rechargeable batteries go
back to a store that sells them -- not in the garbage!
Hope all this is clear!
