New Recycling Program - No Additional Cost

It is not often that a City service can be created without additional cost. But not this one, the City is proud to announce that we have begun a Recycling Program. The City has worked diligently with several sponsors to bring this program to this point. The program will start on March 5, 2008. The Recycle bins will be located in the Wal-Mart Parking Lot (grocery side). There will be three containers, they are beige and well marked for recyclables. Listed below are items that can be recycled. They should be separated and placed in the marked container for that item.
 
Plastic -Check for # on/near the bottom of container. Prepare items by rinsing inside.
#1 (pet or pete) such as plastic soft drink bottles, water bottles, mouthwash, etc
#2 (hdpe) such as milk, water, juice, shampoo, dish/laundry soap bottles.
#4 (ldpe) such as squeezable bottles, honey, mustard, BBQ sauce, etc.
#5 (pp) such as catsup bottles, yogurt containers, margarine tubs, etc
#6 (ps) such as compact disc jackets, egg cartons, aspirin bottles, etc.
#7 (other plastic) such as three & five gallon water bottles, juice bottles, etc.
 
Paper - Newspaper (remove plastic bags, rubber bands) magazines, office paper, junk mail flyers, brochures and phone books. .....No cardboard....
 
Metal cans -Prepare cans for recycling by rinsing and discarding all lids. Cans accepted are aluminum, and steel. Such as drink and food cans.
 
Please do not mix items in the bins, it makes them unable to be recycled. Please do not put trash (non-recyclable) in the bins.
