V7H 1S4 to recycie “I KNOW it's important to recy- cle," many people say. ‘‘But don’t know where to start.”” Here’s a run-down of basic recycling information to get you started. But remember, reducing and re-using come before recycl- ing. Most depots ask that you prepare your recyclables in the fol- lowing manner: © Glass: Bottles and jars should be rinsed out and have the neck ring and cap/lid removed. Labels need not be peeled off. Most depots will ask you to separate your bottles into different bins according to the color of the glass. Depots do not accept window glass, ceramics, Pyrex or lightbulbs. ¢ Tin and aluminum food and beverage containers: Cans should be rinsed out, have the labels removed (an easy task), and be flattened. In case the depot asks you to separate tin and aluminum cans, remember that tin cans will have a weld in them; aluminum containers will not. Depots will also accept aluminum foil (wiped clean) and foil dishes such as pie shells. Once you're ready to take a load (can you arrange to take your neighbors’ as well?), check out the list below to find who will accept what. Note: Follow all the depot’s posted instructions faithfully te avoid ‘“‘contaminating’’ a whole bin of goods. For more informa- tion, call the Recycling Hotline at 736-8636.
