We aren't asking you to scrub and dry your items before recycling. However, containers do need to be empty and a quick rinse would be much appreciated.

Brilliant! You all have been paying attention! Now, a harder question, why don't plastic bags belong in the recycling bin?
1. Plastic bags are total party crashers recyclers don't want.
2. Plastic bags damage recycling equipment.
3. Plastic bags will decompose when they're good and ready

If you are bringing latex paint to the collection tomorrow, it must be in a liquid state to be recycled. Do NOT attempt to dry it out first.

To the person who left a box of batteries on my work porch: Thank you for getting them out of your home and not putting them in the trash. As you can see in the picture, three of the four lithium batteries are in a very fragile state. They have started to swell and were close to explosion and ignition. Please, please, please, take any swollen lithium batteries out of your home immediately. Tape the contact points or put them in individual plastic bags. The Seymour Department of Public Works can then handle them safely. Their address is 865 "F" Ave East, Seymour in Freeman Field.
