Wishful Recycling
Marion County continues to lead the way in recovery and recycling, however there are still items we wish we could recycle but can’t. We call this wishful recycling. Because recycling relies on markets willing to buy used items, it’s not possible to recycle everything. When non recyclables are added to the mixed recycling bins, it causes contamination that can lead to machinery failure. So let’s keep our recycling stream as clean as possible. So remember, when you encounter wishful recycling, when in doubt, throw it out!
Please keep these items out of the curbside recycling:
• Plastic Bags
• Styrofoam
• Disposable Coffee Cartridges
• Disposable Coffee Cups & Lids
• Aerosol Cans
• Frozen Food Boxes
• Greasy or Waxed Cardboard
• Shredded Paper
• Mesh Bags for Fruit
• Syringes
• Garbage
• Clamshells & Take out containers
• Medical Waste
• No glass in mixed recycling roll cart
