Most UNwanted: August Edition🚫![]()
Item: Garden Hoses!🌿![]()
![]()
Summer cleanup is in full swing, and those old, cracked, tangled hoses seem like they should go in the recycling. But the truth is, garden hoses are a huge problem at the recycling facility. They wrap around the sorting equipment and can cause serious jams, delays, and even safety risks for workers. 😓⚠️![]()
![]()
👉 So what should you do instead?![]()
✔️ If the hose is still in good shape, consider donating it or reusing it around the yard.![]()
❌ If it’s worn out, it needs to go in the garbage, not the blue bin.![]()
![]()
Thanks for helping us keep recycling running smoothly and safely. Every little bit of sorting right makes a big difference. 💪![]()

This month’s “Wall of Shame” spotlight comes with a serious safety warning. 🔥![]()
![]()
What caused this truck fire?![]()
![]()
A single Jiffy Pop popcorn pan. Yes, the kind with the foil top that expands over the stove.![]()
![]()
⚠️ These items are pressurized and can explode when exposed to heat or pressure, especially inside a hot recycling truck’s compactor. While Jiffy Pop could go in the garbage, it must be completely cool before disposal. If there’s any heat left in the container, it can become a fire hazard.![]()
![]()
Thankfully, in this case, our driver noticed the issue early and the fire was extinguished without incident. But it could have ended very differently.![]()
![]()
Recycling properly helps protect the environment, but it also helps prevent dangerous situations like this one.![]()

Most UNwanted: July Edition 🚫![]()
Item: Pool Solar Blankets 😎![]()
![]()
They may soak up the sun, but they don’t belong in your recycling bin. These bulky plastic covers are made from flexible plastic film with air pockets, which is NOT recyclable, even if it's cut into smaller pieces. When you put these in your bin it can contaminate loads of otherwise good recyclables.![]()

🚨 Proper Disposal Alert: Medication 🚨![]()
![]()
Did you know tossing old or unused medications in the trash or flushing them down the toilet can harm our environment and wildlife? When medications enter our waterways, they can pollute rivers, lakes, and drinking water, affecting fish, wildlife, and even human health. Flushing medicines can also disrupt wastewater treatment plants, which aren’t designed to remove these chemicals.🐟💧![]()
![]()
Here’s how YOU can safely dispose of medications:![]()
✔️ Take them to a local pharmacy’s take-back program or designated collection site.![]()
✔️ Use community drug take-back events—ask your municipality when the next one is!![]()
✔️ If no options are nearby, mix pills with an unappealing substance (like coffee grounds), seal in a bag, and place in your household trash—but only as a last resort.![]()
![]()
Keep our water clean and our community safe by disposing of medications the right way! 💙♻️![]()
