Rumpke is now accepting ALL plastic bottles. Only plastic bottles and jugs (regardless of number) will be accepted in the program. To be classified as a bottle or a jug, the top of the container must be smaller than the bottom. These items include syrup containers, shampoo bottles, a water bottle, etc. Plastics not in the shape of a bottle (such as a butter tub or plastic bag or food tray) are not currently accepted.
So, it's not all plastics, as I said in my last post. I got really excited and must have misheard the announcement, and I feel terrible for garnering so much attention with something that wasn't completely true.
Pizza boxes and multiple bins of recycling are also accepted.
Don't forget, you can also recycle:
*ALL paper - magazines, newspapers, junk mail, post it notes
* cardboard
* aluminum
All the different types of bottles that can now be recycled!!
But, don't get too discouraged. This is a huge step forward for Cincinnati and our recycling system, and it's pretty darn exciting.
There's always a catch isn't there? Dang it, but I'm still super excited about being able to recycle pizza boxes now (it's the little things in life).
