WHY: These items will be processed back into aluminum sheeting to re- manufacture new cans and items such as candy wrappers, appliances, gutters, window frames and rebar. RINSED OUT GLASS CONTAINERS Bottles and jars (with the caps on). WHY : Glass gets ground down to a uniform size and mixed with recycled asphalt and concrete to create base materials for access roads, liners for pipe trenches, etc. Recycled glass is also used to make other glass bottles. RINSED OUT PLASTIC CONTAINERS Milk, water, beverage, laundry & shampoo bottles, jars, tubs and jugs with the tops on. WHY : These items will be melted down to make many different items such as polyester fleece, carpeting and other plastic containers. ALL PAPER AND CARDBOARD Cardboard (must be crushed flat), magazines, file folders, paper bags, newspapers, phonebooks, catalogs, dry food boxes, cardboard egg crates, envelopes and junk mail. WHY : Recycled paper and cardboard gets converted into new paper, newsprint and cardboard. ITEMS BELOW CAN NOT GO IN YOUR BLUE BIN RECYCLED MATERIALS SET OUT IN BAGS OR BOXES WHY NOT: The equipment cannot sort through bagged or boxed items. INSTEAD: Empty all bagged or boxed recyclables loosely into your recycle bin. TANGLERS (WIRES, ROPES, CORDS, ETC.) WHY NOT: They wrap around and jam sorting equipment. INSTEAD: Place your unwanted cords, ropes, hoses, hangers, plastic six-pack rings and other “tanglers” in your blue PAYT bag. VERY SMALL ITEMS WHY NOT: Anything under 2" x 2" will fall through sorting equipment. INSTEAD: Place disposable cutlery, straws, shredded paper, prescription bottles, business cards and other small items in your blue PAYT bag. SCRAP METAL (PANS, LAMPS, RODS, PIPES, BICYCLES, TUBING) WHY NOT: They damage the sorting equipment. INSTEAD: Dispose of these items in your blue PAYT bag. PLASTIC BAGS & PLASTIC WRAP WHY NOT: They wrap around the sorting equipment. INSTEAD: Recycle your plastic bags, plastic sandwich bags, Amazon-style air pillows and bubble wrap at a participating grocery/retail store or put them in your blue PAYT bag. FOOD WASTE/LIQUIDS WHY NOT: They reduce the recyclability of other items. Food is compostable but NOT recyclable. Left over liquid (water, milk, juice) in bottles causes mold, mildew, etc., and contaminates all other items. INSTEAD: Rinse all items and make sure they are free of food debris. These can go in your blue PAYT bag. ITEMS BELOW CAN NOT GO IN YOUR BLUE BIN ELECTRONICS WHY NOT: They get broken during sorting and damage the equipment and in some cases contain materials that can harm the environment. INSTEAD: Bring them to the DPW Yard at 356 Commercial Street for electronic waste recycling. CLOTHES/TEXTILES, SHOES, POCKETBOOKS WHY NOT: They wrap around and jam sorting equipment. INSTEAD: Put them in a clothes donation bin located at one of the Malden Public Schools or visit cityofmalden.org/textiles for special collection.

  • Plastic Bags &Plastic Wrap
    PLASTIC BAGS & PLASTIC WRAP FAQ Updated: October 2019 Q: Why are plastic bags and wrap no longer allowed in the recycling container? A: These thin plastics get tangled in equipment at recycling facilities, making it harder, or even impossible, to recycle other materials. They also are a main contaminate of the other recyclables. Q: What can I do with plastic bags and wrap that I already have or may acquire in the future? A: There are drop-off locations at grocery stores and other retail outlets where you can bring plastic bags and wrap. Visit https://www.plasticfilmrecycling.org for drop-off locations. This option keeps the material separated from other recyclables, helps ensure it is clean, and means the materials will be sent to a recycling facility that can turn them into something new, like plastic lumber or other new products. Q: Can I just throw these materials into the garbage? A: Yes. we understand that sometimes putting the plastic bags and wrap in the garbage is the only option you may have. And whenever plastic bags or wrap are dirty, wet, or, contaminated with food, they should go in the garbage. Ideally, we want people to reduce the amount of plastic waste they generate by making wise purchasing choices that eliminates unnecessary packaging, and by bringing reusable bags with them when they shop. If you do have plastic bags or wrap, we hope you will use the available drop-off options that can be found at https://www.plasticfilmrecycling.org. Q: How can I reduce my use of plastic bags and wrap? A: Bringing reusable bags when you go grocery or retail shopping is a great way to reduce plastic bag use.

The bubbles of bubble wrap are easily filled by injecting the samples into them using a syringe with a needle or a pipet tip, and then sealing the hole with nail hardener. The bubbles are transparent in the visible range of the spectrum, and can be used as “cuvettes” for absorbance and fluorescence measurements. The interiors of these bubbles are sterile and allow storage of samples without the need for expensive sterilization equipment. The bubbles are also permeable to gases, and can be used to culture and store micro-organisms. By incorporating carbon electrodes, these bubbles can be used as electrochemical cells. This paper demonstrates the capabilities of the bubbles by culturing E. coli, growing C. elegans, measuring glucose and hemoglobin spectrophotometrically, and measuring ferrocyanide electrochemically, all within the bubbles. he storage, transportation, manipulation, and analysis of Flexible pouches made of polymeric films have found limited T samples and reagents for applications in public health, applications for reagents’ storage.

    Submitting Beer To Homebrew Competitions Joe Edidin 2/29/2016 Objectives • To walk through the process of entering competitions and what to expect from them • To describe the potential benefits of submitting beer to competitions • Tips to help you succeed faster What Competitions Won’t Tell You That a beer is “better” than another beer That a beer is more commercially viable than another beer Homebrewing competitions aren’t designed to measure those things Then What Does A Competition Measure? It measures which beers at each table best represent the sub-styles and categories in which they were entered Let’s get this out of the way… Recipes from books, from magazines, and even commercial clone recipes are perfectly acceptable to use when brewing for a competition • The idea that every recipe needs to be totally original is simply wrong • Those resources are a great way to start with a solid recipe from where you can begin adjusting and improving to better fit your personal tastes and brewing equipment • Even if you want to brew the exact same beer that the recipe’s author intends, the recipe still needs to be tweaked to compensate for differences in available ingredients, equipment profiles, brewing methods, and efficiencies So How Do I Get Started? • Exactly how you’d think…it’s time to make some beer • Take a recipe and enter it into your preferred brewing software • Adjust the ingredients, mash profiles, and fermentation variables to target your desired beer • Brew! • Don’t forget to take lots of notes Finding A Homebrew Competition • Look

Do not cite this document as a requirement. AMSC N/A AREA IPSC DISTRIBUTION STATEMENT A. Approved for public release; distribution is unlimited. Downloaded from http://www.everyspec.com MIL-HDBK-9660A FOREWORD 1. This handbook is approved for use by all Departments and Agencies of the Department of Defense (DOD). 2. This handbook is for guidance only. This handbook cannot be cited as a requirement. If it is, the contractor does not have to comply. 3. The production and use of Compact Disc-Read Only Memory (CD-ROM) have significantly different considerations than of paper products. This handbook serves to provide guidance to Department of Defense agencies on the use of Compact Disc (CD) technology as the recommended method for physical distribution of information within DOD. This document is the basis for addressing current/future CD-ROM issues/concerns. 4. In the past few years the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) CD-ROM Standards, ISO 9660 and ISO 10149, have become widely accepted for sharing large amounts of information across all computing platforms. With the acceptance of the two ISO standards, the use of CD-ROM to store and disseminate information is not only becoming a reality, but is being implemented throughout DOD as a means of reducing paper/magnetic media/microform distribution and attendant costs. ISO 9660 standardizes the logical (data storage) format and ISO 10149 the physical format of CD-ROM, but user interfaces, application platform support, and the utility of the information provided is driven by many different producers of CD-ROMs.
