Greentree Solid Waste Authority- Trash/Recycling 102

AT the compactors/recycling site behind Chisms convenience store

1) big GREEN compactor is for cardboard ONLY. We share this site with Chisms and they have a lot of cardboard.  CLEAN cardboard.  Trash in the compactor makes the cardboard an unacceptable  recycle product.

2) Each of the BLUE BINS are labeled for the recycle product they accept. Toss into the correct bin.

     MIXED PAPER BIN: Cardboard boxes do not go into the Mixed paper bin - only office paper, mail envelopes, cereal boxes, magazines, etc.  Please put cardboard boxes in the GREEN compactor.

     ALUMINUM:  Certain pet food cans are part aluminum and part steel.  Please put pet food cans in a separate plastic bag tied at the top.  Steel cans can be sorted out with a huge magnet, but the pet food cans trick the magnet.

3) big TAN compactor is for household trash - no lumber; no metal - like bed frames, rebar, etc; no mattresses; no paint-filled paint cans; no bags of pine needles, no slash (your pine needles and slash are picked up by the grabbler once a month).   THINK before you throw it in.  WILL your trash jam the compactor?

Thanks for your diligence to be a thoughtful recycling person and a mindful, neat trash user.
As you saw, the wind played havoc with the fence like it did many trees in Sun Valley.
