All haulers have been notified of these rules and regulations. You are helping Iredell County every time you recycle. You play an important role in the recycling process. The success of the program depends on each of us doing our part for our future environment. Schools and civic groups are offered programs to teach recycling through the recycling coordinator.
Papers can have staples and plastic windows included.
When plastic bags or boxes are tossed in with the recyclables someone has to remove them. This is unnecessary labor that can be avoided by removing the materials as they are placed in the bin. When we put a glass jar in the bin to recycle and it still has food in it or we put brown and clear glass in the same bin we contaminate the whole load. A load of glass is about 9 tons and all is lost if there is contamination. Be sure to always read the signs posted and pay attention to directions and new items recycled.
