What’s Recyclable?

Hi all,

Here is a friendly reminder about what is and what is not recyclable: http://www.lessismore.org/material_categories/1-recycle. Attached is an updated one-page informational cheat-sheet about what is recyclable in Santa Barbara that you can post in your classroom, office, or home.

What can we recycle in Santa Barbara? (all of these things should be fairly clean / rinsed out)
· Paper & Cardboard: ALL PAPER
· Plastic — All Hard Plastic & Most Plastic Bags and Film Plastic!
· Glass — ALL GLASS
· Metals — ALL METAL
· Mixed or Composite Materials — MILK CARTONS, JUICE BOXES, and SOUP CARTONS can now be recycled!

NOT RECYCLABLE – FOUR Top Offenders
STYROFOAM
BATTERIES
ELECTRONICS
PRINTER INK CARTRIDGES

Important School No’s are extra plastic from lamination and anything laminated, paper towels, tissues, paper plates, compostable cups, utensils, and plates, and plastic-lined paper cups

Let me know if you would like posters of the County poster attached (11″ x 17″), stickers to go on your recycling bin, and/or magnets (3″ x 9″) of what is recyclable for your classroom or home. A goal is to have recycle bins next to each trash can so that there is a choice.

Friday, November 15th, is America Recycles Day: http://americarecyclesday.org/ Please put it on your calendar. Check out the ‘LIVE AT THE LANDFILL’ video!
