CAN I PLACE RECYCLABLE ITEMS LOOSE IN A BIN OR TRASH CAN?
In order to save on collection costs, Absolute Waste Removal has developed a method that utilizes a garbage truck to collect the recyclables. This method requires that glass, cans, and plastic be confined together (the plastic bag keeps these items together) and that paper products be bundled and tied (this process keeps like-paper products together and saves you paying for sorting at the recycler’s facility). For these reasons only recyclables in plastic bags and bundled paper will be collected. Additionally, our recycler will only take clean recyclable material and the plastic see-thru bag will ensure that only acceptable material is sent to the recycler (we have to pay for disposal costs of unacceptable materials sent to the recycling facility). Therefore, if the recyclable materials are not placed at the curbside in the appropriate clear bag or bundle and/or if the material is not clean, the entire bag will not be picked up and a note will be attached explaining why.
