Accepted Materials
YOU ARE AT THE SINGLE MOST IMPORTANT POSITION OF THE RECYCLING PROCESS.
WE MUST BE STRICT ABOUT ELIMINATING CONTAMINATION IF THIS SERVICE IS TO BE SUCCESSFUL. PLEASE NO "WISH-CYCLING". WISHING ITEMS TO BE RECYCLABLE DOES NOT MAKE IT SO, AND IT IS VERY COSTLY TO FILTER OUT. IF YOU ARE UNSURE, THEN PLEASE DO NOT SEND IT TO US. WE WILL DO OCCASIONAL QUALITY CONTROL CHECKS TO HELP KEEP THE SYSTEM FLOWING SMOOTHLY.
Due to market constraints, we accept ONLY the items listed below. We are very passionate about finding outlets for more materials. Over time we will accept more items, and we will keep you apprised. We will soon put together a small video to better explain the items listed below with more details and address frequently asked questions.
