I know, I know. Dump is not a politically correct name, land fill is the pc word, but it is also the recycling center. I actually learned some tidbits that I thought I would pass on to the blog world, as there is so much green-consciousness going on.
THINGS YOU CAN'T RECYCLE THAT YOU PROBABLY THOUGHT YOU COULD:
- plastic grocery bags - I know you are encouraged to turn them in at the grocery store but we learned they can't be recycled. What do they do with them?
- yogurt cups - they are considered contaminated with food, and can't be cleaned.
- pet food bags - same as with yogurt cups.
-paper towels - same as with yogurt cups and pet food bags.
SOME OF THE THINGS YOU CAN RECYCLE:
- anything with a screw cap - just make sure it is rinsed out.
THE GUILT TRIP:
- there are people who hand sort through all the recycling that goes by on a conveyor belt to remove anything things that can't be recycled. Makes you think carefully about what goes into the recycling, doesn't it?
OMG......what do you think they talk about as they sort through our stuff....makes one wonder doesn't it?
