The independent recycling facility we work with has found a market for glass, so we are pleased to announce that, effective July 1st, you are able to put your glass back in your recycling bins. As most are aware, the recycling markets have been turbulent in the last few years, and our independent recyclers are more important now than ever. With that in mind, please be cognizant of what is going into the recycling stream and be aware that Types 3-7 Plastic are still not recyclable. They must go into the trash. You can check the type by finding the number enclosed inside a recycling symbol, usually located on the bottom of the item.
The two types of plastic that are still recyclable are Types 1 & 2, which are among the most common. Examples of Type 1 are soda, water, salad dressing and cooking oil bottles (bottles you drink from or that hold consumables). Some examples of Type 2 are milk and juice jugs, shampoo, conditioner or bodywash bottles and laundry detergents containers. Neither of these lists are comprehensive, so be sure to check each container for the recycling logo and the codes PET or PETE for Type 1 and PEHD or HDPE for Type 2. If the container has any of these codes, it is recyclable. If it does not, then it is not recyclable.
