Plastic bottles, jugs, tubs, or lids such as beverage containers, laundry detergent, dish soap, lotion, and shampoo bottles – are recyclable in your regular curbside recycling, as well as WSWMD single stream recycling bin. Please do NOT recycle plastic bags, film plastic, pellet bags, or plant pots in either your curbside bin or at the transfer station.
Glass bottles are also recyclable in your regular curbside recycling. WSWMD accepts glass in the single stream bin as well as the separate glass recycling bin.
Examples include (but are not limited to): sauce jars, beverage jars, mason jars (canning jars), cooking oil jars, pickle jars, and jelly jars. Most glass jars that have contained food are acceptable for recycling, please clean out the food residue first, and remove the lid.
Do not recycle window glass, candle glass, china, or porcelain; these items should be managed as trash.
Do not separate glass from other recyclables in your curbside recycling, that’s only at the WSWMD transfer station.
Glass jars that are separated and put into the glass-only container end up at Strategic Materials, Inc. for further processing! Check it out here…
