What Can I Recycle?
It's incredibly important to know what you can recycle and what you can't.
Contamination is the biggest problem facing current recycling practices today. People throw in things they shouldn’t, like grease soaked cardboard, plastic bags, or paint cans. If it ends up at the recycling center, all pieces in proximity to the contamination must be removed, causing slowdowns and strain on the facility.
