Plastic requires the most attention. No plastic that has contained motor oil, antifreeze or pesticide is acceptable. All caps should be removed from plastic and glass containers. Aluminum pie plates, roasters or foil are not acceptable. New in the county is the collection of textiles at the transfer stations.
Residents can bring textiles that are clean, dry and stored in a plastic bag.
Textile bags are also available from the station attendants. The Department of Public Works is working with the League of Women Voters to update a Reuse Directory created two years ago. This directory encourages residents, businesses and organizations to donate reusable items instead of disposing of them. The St. Andrews Church Landfill accepts white goods and scrap metal. This includes appliance items such as stoves, refrigerators, or any major piece of scrap metal.
