Happy Earth Day! Let’s be green today & every day. Here are some tips to help you recycle better 💚🌎♻️
👉Skip the bags! Put recyclables in the bin loose. No plastic bags, and no paper bags full of items - they clog the sorting machines.
👉Size matters. If it’s smaller than a credit card, toss it in the trash.
👉 Clean, Empty, Dry. Always rinse out food containers before they hit the bin.
👉 No “Mixed Materials.” Items made of combined materials (like padded mailers or juice pouches) usually go in the garbage.
👉 Check the Resin Code. Not all plastic is equal. Look for the recycling symbol and number.
👉 Don’t “Wishcycle.” Putting non-recyclables in the bin can contaminate the whole batch.
👉 When in doubt, find out! If you’re not sure, look it up on recyclect.com. 👈♻️
