Very Important!! Do not put materials in the commingle cart if they are not on this list. This contaminates the whole container and creates more garbage! Thank you for your help.
Very, VERY Important: No Plastic Bags in Commingle Collection Carts! They Clog Up Our System!
Plastic bags, such as grocery and retail bags, protective newspaper bags, & sandwich sacks, cause BIG problems at our recycling recovery facility. These bags clog up the equipment by wrapping around gears and wheels. To reduce the number of plastic bags at home, switch to durable, reusable bags for your trips to the store. Keep durable bags stored in your car or bike for easy access when shopping.
