Green Team Recycling Tips for October:

  • Recycling needs to be clean and dry before deposited in a recycling bin.  Wet food remnants can grow mold and prevent the item from being recycled.  For plastic film, dry crumbs are okay...think chip or cracker crumbs.  
  • When in doubt, throw it out!  It's better to put something in the garbage than risk contaminating a recycling bin with erroneous items.
