County Upgrades Recycling

  • Mood:

Montgomery Co. (MD) Upgrades Recycling Program

I'm so excited to share this news with everyone.  The county I live in - Montgomery County, Maryland - has upgraded it's recycling program to include more items that can be recycled!

The program now accepts the following items in their curbside recycling bins (and at the solid waste centers around the county):

  • Narrow-neck plastic bottles that contained food, drink and household products
    • examples: milk, juice, water, syrup, vegetable oil, salad dressing, cleaning, detergent and shampoo/conditioner bottles
  • Plastic food-grade tubs and lids
    • examples: margarine/butter tubs, cottage cheese, yogurt, sour cream, mayonnaise, whipped topping, peanut butter and deli containers, and prescription bottles
  • Plastic pails/buckets
    • examples: ice cream, detergent, pet food and kitty litter containers
  • Plastic flower pots
  • Plastic beverage cups

    • This means that I can now reduce even more the amount of garbage that I send to the landfills. It also means that more plastics can be recycled and used for other purposes!!!  Thank you, Montgomery County (http://www.montgomerycountymd.gov/apps/dep/solidwaste/collectionservices/material_detail.asp?categoryID=16).
