SUMMARY:Inter-City Recycling Challenge
DESCRIPTION:VESTAVIA HILLS IS COMPETING WITH HOMEWOOD\, MOUNTAIN BROOK & HOOVER TO REDUCE CONTAMINATION IN OUR RECYCLABLES! \n\n \n\nDid You Know  \n  when non-recyclable items are placed into recycling bins\, everything in the bin becomes contaminated?\n\n  contaminated recyclables may cause the entire truck load to be sent to the landfill\, instead of recycled?\n\n  contaminated recyclables cost you   the tax payer   nearly twice as much to be processed?\n\n  recycling materials placed inside plastic bags can not be processed and are sent to the landfill?\n\n  the contaminate rate for Vestavia Hills was 37% in 2018?\n\n \n\nDo Your Part to Keep Contaminates Out of Your Curbside Recycling Container!\n Be sure items are EMPTY\, CLEAN\, DRY & LOOSE before placing them in your recycle cart. Wet or soiled items will result in the entire load of recycling being discarded!\n\n  Clean your recycle cart occasionally to reduce contaminants.\n\n  Place all recyclables inside your cart. The City's vendor will NOT pick up anything outside of your cart or in another receptacle.\n\n  If needed\, request a replacement or an additional cart for FREE via the Vestavia Hills Action Center or call Public Works at 205.978.0150.\n\n  Place your cart at the curb with the front (arrows) facing the street.\n\n \n\nWhat IS and IS NOT Accepted?\nRecycling Options:\n\n  Electronics & Appliances: Contact Advanced Technology Recycling at www.ATRecycle.com or 877.781.7779\n\n  Batteries: Contact Alabama Environmental Council Community Recycling Center or any Batteries Plus retail location (www.batteriesplus.com)\n\n  Glass: Target accepts glass for recycling\n\n  Clean Film: Publix recycles clean film\, including thin plastic shopping bags and package wrap (like that used to package toilet paper rolls)\n\n  Styro: Publix recycles styro (foam) trays and foam egg cartons
