🎉🔥 PROPANE TANK PARTY PSA! 🔥🎉

Hey Minong Transfer Station friends — let’s talk about the 🎈 party crasher 🎈 of the waste world: Propane Tanks 🛑.

🚫 We cannot accept propane tanks in:
♻️ The scrap metal roll-off bin
🗑 The household trash compactor

💥 Why?
Even “empty” tanks can still have pressurized gas inside.
When crushed in the compactor or by the metal truck, they can:
💣 Explode 💥
🔥 Cause fires 🔥
😬 Injure workers or damage equipment 😱

💡 What to do instead:
Bring propane tanks to a proper disposal location such as:
🔧 A propane supplier (they often take them back!)
🏪 Hardware stores with tank exchange programs
♻️ Hazardous waste collection events

♻️ Not Everything Belongs in the Recycle Bin! 🚫

While doing a quick check of the recycling bins today, I found some items that shouldn’t be in there — and I snapped a few pics as examples. 📸

Please remember that these items are NOT recyclable through our recycle bins.

📼 VHS tapes

💽 Cassette tapes

🧵 Fabric or clothing

🧸 Hard plastic toys

🍽 dishes are not made of recyclable plastic unless marked otherwise

👕 plastic clothes hangers

🌸 feminine products ( not pictured!)

These can jam up the recycling machines or contaminate entire loads, sending good recyclables to the landfill. 😣

Let’s keep our recycling clean and efficient! ✅

✅ What IS accepted?
Stick to clean plastics labeled #1, #2, and #5, along with paper, cardboard, and metal cans. Check the number inside the triangle symbol!

Thanks for doing your part! 🌍💚
