Recycling Changes Coming For 2019
New
guidelines for separation and contamination of recyclables. All
items; bottles, cans, paper and cardboard must be free of food
residue, liquids and grease. Think “Clean in the Recycle
Stream.” We cannot sell product to the marketplace that does
not meet strict guidelines. Rejected loads are very costly to the
District. Dirty recyclables end up in the trash. So please help us
keep costs down and revenue flowing by RINSING AND SORTING AT HOME
FIRST.
Please
be aware, a large separation shift for plastics is taking place at
the facility. Beginning in early 2019, we will no longer be
accepting #1 - #7 plastics all in one bin. The ONLY plastic we
will be processing for recycling is: #1’s and #2’s
#1 PETE
– think bottles like water, juice and soda, or plastic jars like
mayo, peanut butter, or spaghetti sauce –rinsed out and food residue
removed.
NEVER
anything made from black plastic.
#2 HDPE
Natural – think CLEAR store brand jugs that contain milk, cider,
orange juice and water – clear or “translucent” ONLY in this
category – empty of all liquid.
#2 HDPE
Colored – assorted colored bottles such as detergent, plastic coffee
containers, etc.– rinsed and emptied. NEVER anything made from
black plastic.
All
other plastic products belong in the trash.
AS
ALWAYS, containers that held automotive oil, automotive fluids,
pesticides, chemicals, and Medical Waste SHOULD BE DISPOSED OF in
the trash. Bring needles “sharps” into the office.
Look
for our new brochure just posted to the website!

Letter
To The Editor
“We the
People Of the United States [All of us American citizens] in Order
to form a more perfect Union [that means working together toward
common goals], establish Justice [from amnesty to high Crimes
and Misdemeanors], insure domestic Tranquility [no more unrest,
distrust, hatred and Violence], Provide for the common defense [to
protect the U.S. against threats to our democracy], promote the
general Welfare [raise the poverty level, support Public education,
protect affordable healthcare and protect our environment], and
secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves [one citizen=one vote
and our ‘freedom of speech’], and our Posterity [future
generations], do ordain and establish this Constitution for
the United States of America.”
The USA
is and always will be a country “of the people [we must continue to
elect representatives to the Congress that represent our views and
have our best interests in mind and hold them accountable], by the
people [we must exercise our right to vote and to free speech] and
for the people [that means ALL of us].”
[Brackets] are my interpretation of the preamble to the US
constitution. We must honor this document by being good
citizens.
Thank
you for your consideration,
