Curbside Recycling Program
Show All Answers
1.
Are plastic bags recyclable?
No. Plastic bags, plastic wrap and other plastic "film" are not recyclable. Do not put your paper or containers in plastic bags prior to recycling. Plastic bags are a serious problem at the recycling sort facility. They clog automated equipment causing delays and potential equipment damage. Check with your local store, they may have a bag recycling program. If they don't accept them ask them to begin a recycling program.
2.
Should I wash my recycling before placing it in the bin?
Just one rinse for recycling should be sufficient. Cans, jars and bottles that are rinsed before recycling are cleaner and thus more valuable. Also, clean containers are less attractive to bugs. Bottle caps can remain on the bottle for recycling.
3.
Can I recycle styrofoam?
Styrofoam is not accepted curbside.
4.
Can I recycle a motor oil bottle?
No, motor oil residue contaminants all plastic markets. Never rinse or wash a motor oil bottle. Motor oil down the sink or drain causes a much larger environmental crisis. Simply place the motor oil container in the trash.
