The rule of thumb for recycling fiber? Stick to paper, cardboard, and cartons—nothing else! ✅ Everything in this picture is recyclable! 🔹 Paper & Cardboard – Keep it clean, dry & flattened. 🔹 Cartons – Don’t flatten! Empty them (rinse when possible) & put the cap back on

We’d like to say it’s “snow problem,” but wet weather can put a damper on production at our Materials Recycling Facility (MRF). ✅ If you have a cart: Keep the lid closed and secure to keep out rain and snow. ✅ If you use bins: Store them in a sheltered spot whenever possible

Tomorrow is #ValentinesDay! 💚 Spread love for the planet by embracing eco-friendly practices and celebrating with sustainable gifts: bit.ly/4hJKrYo #KeepAmericaBeautiful #DoBeautifulThings #ValentinesDay
