CONTAMINATION RUINS THE RECYCLING PROCESS!


STARTING FEBRUARY 1ST, 2010
We are NO LONGER accepting:
- Plastic
- Paper
- Cardboard
(This is due to the cost and the quality of the recyclable being dropped off.  We are doing this as a service, as long as we break even we can continue to provide this service.  These products we continue to loose money on and can no longer take.  The industry has cut the rates for these products substantially and the amount of man hours we have to spend checking the quality (all of these products have been dropped off without being contained and blow all over the road and property / we have received a plentiful amount of plastic with half of the food still in the container (ie: peanut butter jars half full, sour cream and milk containers 1/3 full, etc.) children's toys, loaded diapers, to go lunch containers with half of the lunch still in them)
 -
Therefore we can no longer take these products. 
We apologize for the inconvenience!
