As the holiday's draw to a close, here's a few tips for proper disposal of unwanted wrapping paper, wreaths and trees!
Holiday Recycling Questions
Can glossy holiday gift bags go in the blue cart? Paper gift bags can be recycled. Tip: Usually if you can tear the paper fairly easily it will pulp up at the paper mill. Gift bags can be reused or donated to charity.
Can cellophane or foil wrapping paper go in the blue cart? Non-paper wrapping material should not go in the blue roll carts. Most “foil-like” paper is metallic ink on paper and is accepted with recycling.
Can present ribbons be recycled in the blue cart? Non-paper ribbons are not accepted (very few ribbons are paper-based).
For most families, Thanksgiving is a time to reflect on everything you’ve been given, and be grateful for all that you have.
This year may be tough for many of us. But no matter how bad things are looking for you this year, there’s always someone who has it worse. So this year, take the time to give thanks for all that’s good in your own life -- and to give to others who may not share the same good fortune this Thanksgiving.
