Recycling Update
By Alton Powell | Nov 11, 2008
We have a new arrangement for the city's recycling center. All recyclable material (EXCEPT ALUMINUM CANS) goes in the one large container and will be sorted out by high tech method at the recycle company. The container will be delivered and will replace everything, except the aluminum can trailer, which will continue to be processed by volunteers from the recycle committee.
If your paper will
tear and is free of food and drink--it may be recycled.
Sorting is not necessary and there is no need to remove paper clips or staples.
The recycling committee offers this handy chart to help you determine what may be recycled.
| Acceptable Items | Unacceptable Items |
| Office paper -- all types | Styrofoam |
| Newspapers and magazines | Waxed cardboard |
| Telephone books | Food waste in steel or food cans |
| Plastic bottles & containers | Kitchen trash |
| Mail -- all types | Tissue products |
Please do not put trash in the recycle containers as this may jeopardize our program.
The Recycle Committee sincerely requests your cooperation and support in this very worthwhile program for our city. Thank you for your help.
- Alton Powell, Chairman, Recycle Committee
