What You Can and Can't Recycle
|
Do you wonder about what you should - and should not - put in your recycling bin? If so, the Solid Waste Agency of Lake County (SWALCO) is here to help! A new interactive guide has been launched by SWALCO, in partnership with Recycle by City, which helps residents to know how to dispose of a variety of items, including electronics and hazardous waste. Information can be obtained simply by entering your home address at
this link. Knowing what is appropriate to put in a recycling bin helps to reduce contamination, which often leads to higher recycling costs and other costs to the environment.
