Contamination Explained

Did you see the new signs at Sedona Recycles? We have updated what we are accepting in our plastic and steel collection bins. Here is a breakdown of the plastic materials we take. #1 & #2 in the shape of bottles and jugs. This you can think about as any plastic container that has a bottle neck. We also would love NO LIDS and for those lids to be thrown in the trash. We CANNOT accept berry or salad containers. Or any other shape of plastic that doesn't have a bottle neck. Aluminum foil, tray, and cans are all accepted. Please make sure they are free of food waste. If you're ever unsure about a material best practice is when in doubt throw it out! 🗑️ We can't wait to meet you in the lobby! See you soon. ♻️ #recyclingeducation #acceptedmaterials

UPDATE: Accepted Plastics At Sedona Recycles

We are wanting to clear the air of what happens when you put items into the collection bins that do not belong. Today we are focusing on plastic clamshells aka plastic boxes. They have many names but no whatever what size or shape they take at the end of the day they are trash. Putting non-accepted items in our bins increases our operating costs and disposal fees. Please do not put clamshells into the bins. What are clamshells? 🫐 berry containers 🍃 green boxes 🥚 plastic egg cartons What happens when you put these items into the recycling bins? ✔️more labor ✔️more energy ✔️increased trash bills Any material we receive that is not recyclable, we have to pay to dispose of. We ask our patrons to help us stay viable by keeping these materials out of our bins. By refusing single-use plastics, we act locally to solve a global problem. Please, tell your friends & neighbors! Thank you for your continued cooperation and support! #sedonarecycles #noclamshells #AZrecycling

What is a Clamshell? No, They’re Not Recyclable.

Here is a breakdown of the plastic materials we take. #1 & #2 in the shape of bottles and jugs. This you can think about as any plastic container that has a bottle neck. We also would love NO LIDS and for those lids to be thrown in the trash (before you get to a drop off bin). In this video we highlight #1 plastics. We can only accept bottles. That's the ONLY shape we are looking for. Think of anything you can screw off the lid to (of course throwing that away). If you're ever unsure about a material best practice is when in doubt throw it out! 🗑️ We can't wait to meet you in the lobby! See you soon. ♻️ #recyclingeducation #acceptedmaterials
