Recycle News & Updates
As I’ve mentioned before recycling has become more difficult. So we are having to make a lot of changes. We will take the trailer to PJ on May 2 to unload it. Then we are moving the trailer to our new home. This will be behind the ballparks at the school. It’s gated and unfortunately we will keep it locked unless a volunteer is there to make sure what goes in is recyclable. This is because we are getting way too much trash, especially plastic. If we don’t get much better the park will shut us down from bringing anything.
So now we only be able to accept clean cardboard, #1 and #2 plastic that is clean and rinsed. No caps or tops please. Aluminum cans are OK along with clean and rinsed tin cans. No other metal. And we can no longer accept paper, including paper board any longer as we have no outlet to take it. So only clean cardboard on the paper products.
So again, after the next run we will be closed most of May while we get setup at the new location. We are trying to find more volunteers to be at the trailer on certain days and hours so we can make sure we only take what we can recycle. It is unfortunate but we have no alternative.
Alpine has the Hal Flanders recycle facility on Cemetery Rd. that will take most products including glass at certain times. Also, at the landfill on the road to Marathon about a mile past the 67/90 intersection they will take cardboard. So if you have a lot of cardboard this is very easy.
Any questions please email krullro1966@gmail.com.
