RECYLCING INFO
We were talking today about the recycling codes on plastic bottles and I couldn't remember exactly what I had been told when I did an article on recycling, using the Northeast Indiana Solid Waste District as a source. I researched it on their site and here is the link to the correct page.ALUMINUM beverage containers, aluminum foil, pie or dinner trays. |  | Rinse. No food debris, please. |
CARDBOARD (Corrugated) Corrugated box-board in which cases of grocery items, appliances & other products may be packaged. |  | Break down boxes and flatten. Keep separate from newsprint. |
