Friday, June 18, 2010 What did you spot in the blue bin? My last post was about lawnmowers. At the end of it, I asked whether you saw anything wrong with the blue bin... Yes! Right there at the top of the bin is a... big plastic trash bag! Even if you collect recyclable items in plastic bags, please put only loose cans, bottles, jars and containers into your blue bin. Then, reuse the bags, recycle them, or if they are dirty, put them into the trash. Our Recycling Center sorting process works most efficiently when we receive your loose recyclables. When items are delivered in plastic bags, workers must open and remove the bags by hand. -- posted by Susanne Comment on this post CATEGORIES: Plastic , Recycling , Seen at the curb POSTED AT: 3:47:00 PM \|	Blog Home Handy links Categories Apartments/Condo Recycling (TRRAC) (10) Business recycling (SORRT) (8) Composting (14) Computers / Electronics (11) Hazardous Waste (20) Holidays (40) Mailbag (30) News (145) Notes from the field (18) Paper (18) Paper Shredding (4) Plastic (19) Plastic recycling (1) Recycling (85) Recycling Center (10) Reuse (4) Scrap Metal (9) Seen at the curb (4) The finer points (1) Transfer Station (70) Trash (15) Volunteers (19) Yard Trim (22) Archive November 2012 (1) October 2012 (2) July 2012 (2) June 2012 (2) March 2012 (1) February 2012 (2) January 2012 (1) December 2011 (2) November 2011 (1) October 2011 (4) September 2011 (1) August 2011 (1) June 2011 (2) May 2011 (1) April 2011 (4) March 2011 (3) February 2011 (2) January 2011 (5) December 2010 (2) November 2010 (4) October 2010 (1) September 2010 (1) August 2010 (2) July 2010 (2) June 2010 (3) May 2010 (6) April 2010 (1) March 2010 (1) February 2010 (12) January 2010 (4) December 2009 (9) November 2009 (6) October 2009 (2) September 2009 (3) August 2009 (4) July 2009 (4) June 2009 (6) May 2009 (7) April 2009 (4) March 2009 (9) February 2009 (3) January 2009 (8) December 2008 (2) November 2008 (6) October 2008 (3) September 2008 (3) August 2008 (6) July 2008 (8) June 2008 (2) May 2008 (6) April 2008 (9) March 2008 (10) February 2008 (5) January 2008 (6) December 2007 (11) November 2007 (14) October 2007 (8) September 2007 (4) August 2007 (10) July 2007 (6) June 2007 (8) May 2007 (1)
