Recyclables Disposal

Recycling is a key component of modern waste reduction and is the third component of the "Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle" waste hierarchy. Thus, recycling aims at environmental sustainability by substituting raw material inputs into and redirecting waste outputs out of the economic system.

Many items are recyclable, but specific programs target certain products, including many municipal recycling programs. It is always advised to consult your local waste service company to learn more about recycling options in your area.

Common recyclables are:

• Aluminum and Steel Cans
• Cardboard
• Glass
• Newspapers
• Plastic Bottles
• Packaging

These items can be made into new products including cans that hold food and drinks, the steel used to build skyscrapers and school buses, cardboard boxes, glass jars and bottles, newspaper and office paper, plastic laundry detergent bottles and even playground equipment!
