Recycling 101

An easy way to help the environment is to recycle. Most trash haulers will provide a recycling bin for a fee. But, if your service will not, or if you don’t want to pay, there is also a recycling center in front of the Martin’s Supermarket at Cobblestone Square on East Bristol Street.

Here are some helpful hints:

NEVER TAKE

  • Your recyclables in bags
  • Plastic (grocery store type) bags
  • Clothing
  • Masks, diapers, needles, food, or any other organic products.
  • Cords, tarps covers, liners

ALWAYS ACCEPTED

  • Cardboard
  • Milk jugs
  • Paper 
  • Cans and tin
  • Glass
  • Detergent Bottles
  • Plastic Bottles

After checking this list if you are still in doubt, IF IN DOUBT, THROW IT OUT!

CONFUSING:  When you check the bottom of a container and see a recycling arrow you assume that it is recyclable. IT DOES NOT. ONLY #1, #2 AND #5 PLASTICS ARE RECYCLEABLE.
