As much as we'd like to be able to recycle absolutely everything, there are some items that the Recycle Center simply can't collect, because our local recycle market does not accept these items. Our list here consists of a few non-recyclable items which we often find in our recycle bins.
Milk & Juice Cartons: Not recyclable! These are not really paper, but a mix of paper, plastic, wax and foil and are not accepted by our local market.
Paper Coffee & Soda Cups: Deposit a Food Plus Recycling container distributed by SSC (Sanitary Services Company) to eliminate the waste of these items.
Large foam, molded Styrofoam: Not recyclable! Contact us at x3088 For information on recycling your peanut-style packing Styrofoam.
Certain plastic products including: overhead transparencies, plastic caps, sticker backing, rings, pumps, hinged/clamshell containers, bags, wrap, tableware/utensils, pipe, toys, insulation or plastic containers that held potentially hazardous products such as motor oil, antifreeze, solvents, pain, pesticides, etc.
Plate Glass: Not recyclable! We cannot recycle windows, mirrors or broken dishes.
Please call us (x3088) for further clarification of these descriptions of with questions about any item you wish to recycle.
