Making recycling as easy as 1, 2, 3!
First, decide on a storage area. The kitchen, where most household refuse originates, is an ideal place for a home recycling center. Put it in a place where you'll remember to use it such as under the sink or in a closet or pantry. A location in the garage or near a back door can also be used for storage.
Second, take every opportunity to fill your recycling bins with properly prepared recyclable materials. You will be provided with two recycling bins: a green bin for metal cans, plastic, glass, newspaper and corrugated cardboard; and a blue bin for mixed paper including paper grocery bags, catalogs, cereal boxes, junk mail, magazines, etc.
Third, place your recycling bins at the curb by 7 a.m. on your regularly scheduled, bi-weekly collection day. If you have more recyclables than will fit into your bins, place extra materials in a reusable, open container next to your bin so it is not confused with trash. To purchase extra recycling bins, call (828) 252-2532.
