THE DON'TS !!!!
Many items are labeled with the familiar recyling symbol, however, this does not mean that it is recycleable in OUR program!!
If you turn your plastic containers upside down, you will usually find the plastic identified by a number inside the recycling symbol and /or the letters PETE or HDPE underneath it.
Some exceptions to the #2 plastic that we CANNOT accept are: Motor oil bottles, pesticide and herbicide containers, wide mouth containers like margarine, yogurt and ice cream tubs, and 20 litre pails.
REMEMBER....DO NOT DEPOSIT THESE!!
Tissues or paper towels
Drinking glasses
Window pane glass, ceramics or china
Light bulbs
Plastics other than #1 PETE or #2 HDPE
