Why can’t ALL plastics be recycled? What does the chasing arrows symbol really mean? Are pizza boxes in or out? Should you leave that bottle cap on or off? Putting unaccepted items in the recycling bin can damage equipment, harm workers, create inefficiencies in the recycling process, and reduce the value of the acceptable recyclables! This class will de-mystify recycling and help you avoid being a wishful recycler!
In this class, you will learn:
- Why is recycling important?
- What makes something ‘recyclable’?
- How does recycling ‘work’ in Ulster County?
- Why does recycling seem to be so confusing?
- Why are certain items not recyclable?
- What is ‘wishcycling’ and how does contamination affect recycling?
- And other info about UCRRA and our educational programs and services!
