City of Peoria issued the following announcement on Dec. 15.
With extra packaging items around the house this holiday season, it is important to know which items are recyclable. When non-recyclable items are placed in a single recycle container, contamination can occur, causing an entire truckload of material to be rejected from the materials recovery facility. Here are some tips for holiday recycling:
- Ribbons, bows and glittery wrapping paper are not recyclable and should be placed in the trash.
- Bubble wrap packaging, styrofoam, packing peanuts and plastic bags do not belong in recycle.
- Paper, flattened boxes, beverage glass and plastic bottles are recyclable and belong in recycle.
- Live Christmas trees may be recycled at designated drop-off locations from Dec. 24 through Jan. 3.
