We are having issues in the recycling center with people not reading the signs.
It is VERY important to place items in the correct bins to eliminate contamination.
- Telephone books can be placed in the newspaper bin. The front & back covers need to be removed.
- Cardboard needs to be broken down and placed in the bin. Do not place on top of the bin.
- NO BAGS- NO PLASTIC BAGS IN ANY OF THE BINS. If you wish to recycle the plastic bags they can be taken to Kroger or Wal-Mart. Otherwise they can be discarded in the curbits provided for garbage.
