Now Blaine residents can recycle even more material at the curbside. Beginning immediately, residents can place plastics with the recycling numbers of 1 through 7 in their curbside recycling carts. Examples of plastics numbered 1 – 7 are: 1.Soft drink bottles, water and beer bottles, mouthwash bottles, peanut butter containers, salad dressing and vegetable oil containers, and ovenproof food trays. 2.Milk jugs, juice bottles, bleach/detergent/household cleaner bottles, shampoo bottles, butter/yogurt containers, and cereal box liners. 3.Window cleaner/detergent bottles, shampoo bottles, cooking oil bottles, clear food packaging, and wire jacketing. 4.Squeezable bottles and frozen food containers. 5.Yogurt containers, syrup bottles, ketchup bottles, bottle caps, straws, and medicine bottles. 6.Disposable plates and cups, meat trays (please rinse), egg cartons, aspirin bottles, and compact disc cases. 7.Three and five gallon water bottles, bullet-proof materials, sunglasses, DVD’s, iPod and computer cases, display signs, “clam shell” food containers, and nylons. In addition to all of the above plastics, remember that you can also recycle all glass bottles, all household paper (newspapers with all inserts, magazines, mail, copier paper, letters, all envelopes, etc.) all metal and aluminum cans. It is now possible to recycle a great majority of commonly occurring household refuse. By doing so, you can also save money. Once you start recycling the many items that can now be recycled in our program, you may be able to reduce the size of you garbage container and save money on your garbage bill.
