That may not be the message some want to hear, but the TOWNSHIP OFFICE truth is too zealous recyclers can contaminate the recyclables with trash. They are ruining the ability to market the material nationwide. Residents should not be tempted to be too passionate about putting items in the bin that do not belong and “trashing” the recyclables. Properly prepared and collected recyclables are valued commodities sold on a global market. When too many non-recyclables (trash) are mixed in with the recyclables it all becomes “trash”, is too costly to separate, and requires disposal at a landfill. Meanwhile, too much money has been spent on collection, transportation, and processing material that wasn’t worth collecting in the first place. RECREATION DEPARTMENT Scrap metal, hangers, pieces of rope or hose, pieces of wood, yard waste, children’s toys, and food waste are just a few items that “contaminate” the recyclables. Scrap metal may be taken to a scrap dealer, yard and food waste can be composted, and reusable children’s toys may be donated or thrown away if broken. Do not put them in the recycling bins. RECYCLE Plastic bags present another problem. Plastic bags are not recyclable. They jam the source separating equipment at recycling facilities. Plastic shopping bags can be returned to your local grocery store; containers are located at most grocery store entrances. RESPONSIBLY Curbside collection for Loyalsock Township is limited to only three items: glass, tin/ steel cans, and aluminum cans.
