Celebrate America Recycles Day by improving recycling! Over the last few decades more items have become recyclable but many of them can't be placed in the curbside collection. The carts are emptied without a driver removing these items and people believe they are acceptable. We are asking you to talk with friends and neighbors about what actually is accepted with a flyer for reference!
