Important Recycling Information: Are you recycling right? The recycling industry is experiencing high levels of contamination - trash in the recycling - at a time when the requirements for quality (clean recycling) are increasing due to new policies implemented by end markets for recyclable materials.
Earlier this year, China began to limit the quality and quantity of material it accepts for recycling, impacting the recycling industry world-wide. As a result, WM's focus on quality is higher than ever, as they work to ensure the long-term sustainability of its recycling program.
When non- recyclable items (contamination) end up in your recycling, they have the potential to turn the entire load into trash, resulting in contamination and additional processing and disposal costs.
Here are some tools for success - follow these simple rules to avoid contamination.
RECYCLING DO'S: DO recycle all empty plastic bottles, cans, paper and cardboard; DO keep foods and liquids out of recycling; DO keep plastic bags out of recycling.
RECYCLING DON'TS: DON"T bag your recyclables - plastic bags and film get tangles in the machinery; DON'T include food-soiled items (pizza boxes) - they can turn an entire load of recycling into trash; DON'T add sharp or dangerous materials like needles and electronics - they can cause injury to the workers; DON'T toss in "tanglers" like rubber hoses and wires - they can shut down an entire recycling center; DON'T include bulky items like propane tanks or constructions debris.
