Okay folks, everything in this picture is TRASH, nothing in this photo is pictured on the front of our bins!!! All that happens when you put these items in the recycling bins you contaminate all the recyclable items that are allowed!! ALL of these items need to be put in your household trash NOT in our bins!!!
IF IT'S NOT PICTURED ON THE BINS DON'T PUT IT IN!!!!

It's Wednesday and it's battery sorting day here at the Northeast Indiana Solid Waste Management District. I don't know how many of you know that every battery that is brought into the district is hand sorted by an employee. So when you dump batteries into our containers at our recycling facilities and you have light bulbs(which break under th weight of all the batteries) needles, razor blades and countless other thing's and those kind of things are a hazard for our employees. Please remember that these are all hand sorted by an employee so we can't see glass and we can't see razor blades when they go into our large totes from being picked up on Monday route. So if you could put nothing but batteries in our battery recycling bins at the lots that would be much appreciated. And also your large drill batteries that are in the second picture can come up here and get dropped off at the Ashley Convenience Center putting these batteries and the computer batteries in our battery bins at our locations makes it really hard to get batteries out those big batteries get jammed up in there and then they are extremely hard for our employees to get out so if you could just take care of those items properly we would really appreciate it!! We hope everybody's having a great Wednesday
