This just in: residents of Montgomery County can now recycle all kinds of new stuff. Fantastic! Now if I could just get recycling bins in all the parks so that I can recycle all those silly plastic water bottles I find when walking the dog... that would be super fantastic....
Here's the scoop on from Leggett's office:
"Montgomery County’s nationally recognized recycling program today became even more extensive with the announcement by County Executive Isiah Leggett that an array of additional items can now be recycled.
Under the improved program, residents of single-family homes can now recycle non-hazardous aerosol cans and Tupperware™ and Rubbermaid™-type durable reusable plastic containers and lids. Non-hazardous aerosol cans include whipped topping, spray cooking oil, deodorant, shaving cream and hair spray aerosol cans. These cans must be emptied before being placed into the blue commingled materials recycling bin.
In addition, the mixed paper recycling program has been expanded to include various types of coated paper items. These items include milk and juice cartons, frozen food boxes, cardboard ice cream containers and lids, paper coffee and drink cups, wax-coated fruit and produce boxes, and juice and drink boxes. "
(The above info was taken from a press release put out today by Ike Leggett's office.)
