closed: Resolved #170807

Recycling:

Web Form: Recycling center and curb side collecting suggest plastic 1-7 be collected. I understand that our recycling company is only processing 1,2 and 5. Is there a reason why we are collecting plastic which will be thrown again and when mixed with other plastics will make all disposable. Can we have a bin at the center for just 1,2& 5. Why are we saving?

I have called and confirmed with Republic Services that nothing has changed in terms of the plastic collections. They are still accepting 1-7 on plastics. So, please continue to recycle all plastic. I have also confirmed with the Director of the Monroe County Solid Waste District that they are also still collecting 1-7 plastic containers. They do not collect plastic bags and film, however we continue to collect these at curbside.
