RECYCLE YOUR HOLIDAY STRING LIGHTS AT THE TOWN HALL

Holiday Season Recycling Reminders from Winnebago County:

Starting with Amazon Prime Days in October, and then moving into the holiday season, packages – and packaging materials – become increasingly abundant in our communities. We want to help residents recycle right, so use this image as a guide. The information was verified with staff at the Tri-County recycling facility.
If you’re wondering why brown paper mailers (with the white dots on the interior) cannot be recycled, it’s because while some of these mailers are made with shredded paper, some are also made with white Styrofoam. Because they are not created uniformly, they should go in the trash. Do your part and recycle smart!  #RecycleMore #LandfillLess

The Winnebago County Solid Waste Management Department has added many newly acceptable materials for recycling. Please visit their website by clicking on the link below to learn more and become active participant in the recycling efforts of the Town:
