Recycling

If you have visited our Township Recycling shed recently, you may have noticed that the signs are different and the recyclables look like they have been mixed up. That‟s because residents only need to sort their recyclables into 4 different categories (instead of the usual 8). The change is a space saver at home and a time saver at the shed.

Inside the shed, all the carts are used for mixed up containers now. There is no need to sort out the different colors of glass from the plastics or the metal cans. They can all go into the same cart.

Outside, the situation has changed a little bit. Mixed paper will still go into its own dumpster as will the corrugated cardboard. But now there will be a new dumpster for all the newspapers. And the plastic dumpster is relabeled for mixed containers too (as overflow from inside the shed).
So, there is one category inside the shed—mixed containers, and three categories outside—mixed paper, corrugated cardboard and newspaper (with the extra dump-ster for shed overflow, just in case). Stop in and check it out!

Just a quick reminder about which plastics we cannot accept at the shed.

These plastics were mentioned at a recent Shed Keepers meeting and we were told by Hartel's/DBJ, our hauler, that they were
NOT ACCEPTABLE

2. Grocery deli containers (black bottoms, clear tops),
green/clear plastic berry baskets or lettuce containers.
3. 5-gallon buckets and larger kitty litter containers.
4. Overhead light fixture covers.
5. Plastic waste baskets.
6. Plastic milk crates.
7. Orange/brown plastic prescription containers.
