#RecyclingRejects

#RecyclingRejects from the Tri-County Recycling System in Brown, Outagamie, and Winnebago Counties, Wisconsin (www.recyclemoretricounty.org). The pins on this board are a collection of items found on our recycling tip floor that will be #REJECTED from the load because they are NOT recyclable in our single-stream curbside recycling system. Please put all of these items in your GARBAGE - when #reduction, #reuse, or #donation are not options.

Does anyone know what this is? We sure don't, but we know this does NOT belong in your curbside #recycling! Please take to a #ScrapMetalYard instead of attempting to recycle it curbside. Our equipment only processes #metalcans and #metalbottles, not any #metal at all! #scrapmetal #recyclingreject #recycleright #knowbeforeyouthrow #RecycleMoreTriCounty #TriCountyRecycling #WinnebagoCountyRecycles #WCSW #sustainability

Fast Food Cups - #RecyclingReject

ALL plastic fast food cups are not recyclable in the #TriCountyRecycling system, regardless of the number listed on the bottom of the cup. The process used to make these types of cups renders the plastic unrecyclable because of extra chemicals added that reduce the quality. Try to #avoid these cups whenever possible (consider #bringingyourown cup or water bottle!) or place them in the #trash (along with all #lids and #straws) when you're done using them. #recycleright

Cat Litter Buckets - #RecyclingReject

This plastic cat litter bucket is a #RECYCLINGREJECT! Reason 1: We cannot accept ANY #rigidplastics through our single stream recycling facility (Outagamie County has a separate drop-off bin for #rigidplastics at their facility.) Reason 2: This item is too large to get sorted like regular #beveragebottles, and may actually jam up our equipment. Choose to #repurpose and #upcycle this item into a #compost bin in your kitchen, tool storage in your garage, or bins for toys and crafts in a play room!
