Do You Know How to Recycle?

Wednesday, October 9th 2024

When was the last time you checked your town's recycling rules? Have you ever checked them?

I share trash, recycling, and yard debris bins with 3 of my neighbors and have noticed some form of contamination in our recycling bins lately.

So, I took matters into my own hands and decided to do something about it.

First, I checked my local recycling rules.

Then, I printed and laminated them.

After that, I attached them to the appropriate bins.

And finally, I distributed them to my neighbors with a personal note.

I don't plan on being the trash police, but my mind is now at ease, as everyone has the information and can act accordingly... or not! Their call!

Do you know where to find your local recycling rules? How do you communicate them with the members of your household/community?
