Yes, it wasn’t very long ago that our re-cycling company issued new rules on what can and cannot be recycled. And now that you have them down, we have a new recycling company! This com-pany, Republic Services, was chosen for cost savings. Conveniently, though, they also make it much easier to re-cycle, because they accept much more material:

Paper:

•  Computer paper
•  Envelopes
•  Junk Mail
•  Legal Pads
•  Letterhead/Stationery
•  Newspapers/Magazines
•  Cardboard

Bottles/Plastics/Cans:

•  Aluminum, Steel, and Bi-Metal Cans.
•  All glass bottles (No color re-strictions!)
•  ALL # plastics except #6. (Frozen food trays are now OK!)

What you must throw out and NOT recycle:

•  Food or beverage waste (Recycle the pizza box, not the pizza)
•  Candy wrappers
•  Carbon paper
•  Non-paper packing material – no Styrofoam peanuts, sorry.
•  Stickers & Labels
•  Tissues and napkins
•  Vacuum cleaner bags, even if un-used
•  Coffee “K” cups. (This is a special, non-recyclable heat-resistant plas-tic.)
•  Plastic packaging wrap. Clam-case covers must be tossed in trash.
