RECYCLING ecomaine is collaborting with the Department of the Public Works to conduct inspections of curbside recycling bins. During these inspections, staffers will tag bins with GREEN tags for a job well done, YELLOW tags for those that need a few changes, and RED tags for contaminated bins. The tags and information will include an explanation for the reason the item(s) do not belong in the recycling stream. Bins with too many unacceptable items (RED tags) will not be collected. Contamination must be removed from your recycling and put into your trash before it will be collected. This is a project designed to prevent recycling contamination, avoid additional fees, and educate our residents about the importance of recycling correctly. Should your bin be tagged with a red or yellow tag, please feel free to contact ecomaine for guidance on how to dispose of your items |
