With the ever growing issue of waste being brought into our facility, here are just a few items that we pulled out of the recyclables today wile we worked. All of these items are things we do not recycle. With the growing amount of waste, we are asking that recycling customers please look at the bottoms of your containers. If there is a number 1️⃣ or a number 2️⃣ a recycling ♻️ on the bottom of the container we do recycle it. If there is not a number or any other numbers on the bottom inside the recycling ♻️ it is something that is considered waste and can go in your trash can.
