Did you hear the news? There are new rules for recycling in Summit County. Here are four tips to help you decide what should be recycled.
- Do not place your recyclables in plastic bags of any kind. Simply place your recyclables straight in your recycling bin.
- NO plastic bags or soft plastics. Soft plastics are any type of plastic that cannot maintain its original shape when empty. This includes grocery store bags, shrink/saran wrap, etc.
- Recycle grocery store bags at your local grocery store. Most stores have a bin on your way in or out where you can recycle these bags.
- To ensure your recyclables actually get recycled, rinse any dirty containers to remove any food waste or residue. Otherwise they might end up in a landfill.
