Silly Recycling Question?

Question

I have recently decided to be more environmentally concious. My town picks up recycling in the blue container on the same days as regular trash. Can I put plastics and glass into the container or do I need to seperate into two containers? I know that paper is to be bundled seperately but my village's website doesn't mention anything about glass and plastic and they only provide one recycling container.

Answer 1

Sounds like the same setup we have.  Just toss it all in the same one, they separate it later at the recycling place.

Answer 2

to find a recycling center or info on recycling go to earth911.org they have a lot of great info

Answer 3

glass and plastics and tin cans go together.

Answer 4

if is like the ones we have in Dallas we put the glass and plastic in the same one and they separate it  later.

Answer 5

We also have blue bin recycling. Normally, you don't need to separate anything, because the whole bin gets dumped into the same truck and at the recycling center they sort it all by hand.  I'm impressed they take glass- it could break and most blue bin projects don't accept it. I'd double check that.  Our blue bins have rudimentary instructions on the lid.  Try calling your sanitation department for guidelines that apply strictly to your locale.  Good luck!
