IMPORTANT RECYCLING REMINDER FROM WAUKESHA COUNTY

Keep Paper Separate from Cans and Bottles in Blue Bin
Waukesha, WI  - February 6, 2009
Why is this important? Keeping paper separate from cans and bottles saves time and energy, allowing the sorting staff to keep up with the daily delivery of recyclables to the Waukesha County Materials Recycling Facility.

"In this economy, it is more important than ever to process recyclables efficiently and to the exact specifications of our buyers.  Residents can help by taking a few minutes to bundle or bag paper", stated Karen Fiedler, the County's solid waste supervisor.

Residents are reminded that two separations are required when preparing recyclables for collection:

1-Cans & Bottles are placed loose in the blue recycling bin (do not use plastic bags.
2-Paper must be bundled/tied with string or bagged in paper bags and placed on top or set along side the blue bin.
 

HAZARDOUS WASTE: Waukesha County Household Hazardous Waste sites are open to any county resident (proof of residency required). Call 262-896-8302 or visit www.waukeshacounty.gov/recycling for more information on locations and collections hours.
