[Email] Recycling Information

[Denise Bogner]

A few of the Waterford Home residents attended the informational meeting
with Commissioner Drosky, Hillary Silverstone, Sustainability Coordinator,
and a representative of Waste Management.  They said the Deerfield Residents
need to make a lot more improvements to the items they recycle.

Some of the things discussed are:

NO TOPS FOR BOTTLES - THROW ALL AWAY

NO PLASTIC FOOD CONTAINERS - EVEN IF YOU CLEAN THEM

NO PIZZA BOXES

NO STYROFOAM

NO HOSES 

NO PLASTIC BAGS OR ANY TYPE OF FILM

RINSE ALL FOOD FROM METAL CANS FROM THINGS LIKE VEGETABLES OR SOUP - THESE
CANS ARE ONE OF THE FEW ITEMS THAT ARE VALUABLE TO RECYCLING

ACCEPTABLE PLASTIC JUGS OR JARS ARE GOOD IF THE TOP OPENING IS SMALLER THAN
THE ACTUAL JUG

FLATTEN ALL CARDBOARD BOXES
