To Rutland users of Landfill Collection Center

With the start of the New Year, the recycling procedures at the Collection Center have changed.  This is due to changes at the County, resulting in each municipality having to decide how to best handle their recyclables.

We have contracted with Waste Management for single stream recycling.  This means we can now accept more items as recyclable. See the reverse side of this sheet for a detailed list.  It also means that all recycles (paper, cardboard, glass, tin, aluminum and all numbered plastic food containers) can be collected in a single bin.

With this mix of recyclable items, there are several things to keep in mind:

1. Rinse all food containers.  Metal and plastic food containers should be crushed to save space in the bins.



2. All clean cardboard can be recycled, but boxes should be crushed so the cardboard can lay flat.



3. No waxed paper or plastic bags can be recycled at this time.  If you use plastic bags or garbage bags to carry your recyclables, please empty the bags into the recyclable bins and then deposit the empty bags in the trash bins.



4. Please do not dump garbage, tires, light bulbs and other non-recyclable items into the recycle bins.  The Town can be ‘fined’ by the processor if non-recyclables are mixed in with the recyclables. Any such fines would need to be passed along to the users of the collection center.

If you have questions, please ask the attendant on Saturday.

Your cooperation is much appreciated!

Sincerely,

Dale Beske
For the Rutland Town Board
