Our trash/recycling provider, Waste Management, recently provided the Wheelwright Cluster with some recycling resources to help us improve how we recycle. They specifically note that:
No plastic bags should be included in recycling, as this is considered contamination. Waste Management is receiving fines for these contaminants and will have to pass this onto the Wheelwright Cluster if plastic bags and any other contaminants are placed in our recycling containers. Recycle materials should be placed loosely in the container and plastic bags either reused, taken back to the retailer, or disposed of in the trash container. For further information on how to recycle right, please review recycle information at: http://recycleoftenrecycleright.com and http://recycleoftenrecycleright.com/get-started.
