Hey Carroll County Community! Did you know that bagging your recyclables in plastic can create complications during the recycling process? When we bag recyclables, they often get mixed with regular trash or cause issues at recycling facilities. Sometimes just one bag in the collection bin can send the entire load to a landfill! Scroll down for some helpful tips on how to improve your recycling!
We can make it easier for everyone and keep recycling efficient and effective.
Here’s how you can help:
- Skip the plastic bags when recycling. Simply place your clean recyclables directly into the recycling bins.
- Need to use a bag as a liner? Empty the recyclables into the collection bin and throw the bag in a trash can at the center.
- Flatten and rinse your recyclables whenever possible. This helps streamline the recycling process and ensures better-quality materials.
- Take your recyclables to one of Carroll County, GA’s Convenience Centers.
Together, we can make a positive impact and maximize our recycling efforts!
