Monthly Calendar

 

 

 

A. Send them ALL of your aluminum — they can actually SELL it!

B. Leave to lids/caps ON all of your plastic containers. Republic accepts plastic types of #1 through #7.

C. Include all types of dry paper; like newspapers, junk mail, envelopes, copy paper, and cardboard boxes.

 

 

 

A. DO NOT place your recyclables in plastic bags. Commingle it loosely in your Republic recycling bin.

B. NEVER send them shredded paper. Those tiny shreds are too small and simply gum up their machinery!

C. NO CLOTHING! Cloth and threads tangle up their machinery.

D. NO wires nor thin ropes/twine nor plastic wrapping strips. These long thin items, like Christas lights, clog the machinery and bring the plant to a standstill.

E. NO heavy metal like car parts, gears, wheel rims, nor tools. Recycle your heavier metal items at Thornton’s IMC at Washington St/126th.

 

 

 

A. Items do NOT need to be totally clean. Some residue or grease is acceptable. The following times CAN be recycled if large food remains/residue is removed: Aluminum foil: Totally FINE! Remove reside & wad up into balls Paper plates: Also good! Remove large food scraps Cardboard pizza boxes: YES! Greasy is OK, remove cheese or topping residue

B. Republic does recycle glass — of ALL colors. However, they are obtaining new equipment that will make this easier by the Fall of 202
