There are now 8 divided areas for you to drop off recyclables. They are divided up as follows: milk jugs only, all other plastics, unsorted office paper, newspaper, magazines, tin cans, chipboard, and cardboard. A separate container beside the recycling building will be used for all other plastics. This container should be used for #1 clear, #2 colored, #3, #4, #5 and #7 plastic. All of these containers must be cleaned and have the lids removed. Most lids are not recyclable, so please dispose of them in your home trash. Dumpsters outside the building will remain for corrugated cardboard (this is a “sandwich-like” material that will crush if stepped on). Again, we ask that you break down and flatten the cardboard boxes so more items can fit into the container.
The slots in the building will be for the remaining recyclable materials. Chipboard is a single layer material that will not crush if stepped on (examples are cereal boxes, pop and beer cartons, cracker boxes, tissue boxes, chipboard egg cartons, etc.). Just like with the cardboard, please break down and flatten the boxes so that more can fit into the container. Separate slots for magazines and newspapers will be provided. The flyers and coupon sheets that are included in the newspaper should be put in the newspaper bin. There will be a separate slot for milk jugs. All milk jugs must be rinsed, and again have the lids removed. The unsorted office paper bin may have white and colored paper put in it, along with envelopes. In reference to the tin cans, again we ask that the cans be rinsed, and the lids and labels removed.
The recycling center will no longer accept glass containers or grocery bags (paper or plastic). We also cannot accept Styrofoam (including styrofoam egg cartons, salt bags, feed/seed bags, wax cartons, shrink wrap, five gallon plastic pails, gift wrapping paper, shredded paper, oil containers, batteries of any kind, and fluorescent or incandescent tubes/bulbs.
If you have any questions regarding recycling, please feel free to contact city hall at 882-4801, or talk to one of the city employees.
