Recycling News: One-bin system started, recycled items expand |
A new, convenient
recycling system has been introduced in Melbourne. The one-sort
recycling system allows residents to place recyclables in bins
without presorting.
Residents may continue to use any of the three bins for placement at
the curb on collection day.
Waste Management, which provides solid waste collection under a
contract with the City, also announced an expansion of materials
that can be accepted for recycling.
Acceptable materials now include magazines, phone books, paper bags,
envelopes (with or without plastic windows), junk mail, catalogs,
cereal boxes, newspaper, glossy newspaper inserts, circulars, and
milk and juice cartons.
Everything that is currently accepted will continue to be accepted,
including aluminum and steel cans; newspapers with inserts; plastic
bottles with neck that are marked with numbers 1 through 7; and
brown, green and clear glass bottles.
Corrugated cardboard must be deposited in bins at the Melbourne fire
stations. |
