Virtual Tour of Recycling at Hamilton

FACT:

• Hamilton pays $72.15 for every ton of garbage we produce in the community, but disposing of recyclables is free.  Please recycle!

UPDATE:

• Oneida-Herkimer Solid Waste Authority has recently changed its recycling guidelines and no longer accepts plastic #6, which includes Styrofoam containers, Solo cups, most plastic cups, and Opus cups. 

TIPS:

• The container group includes plastics #1-5 (look on the bottom of most containers for the recycling symbol).
• Cups from McEwen and the Diner are not recyclable!  Commons cups (only the ones that have "Bon Appetit" on the side) are recyclable if they are rinsed out.
• Use the blue bin in your room or office to make recycling easier.
• Use a travel mug or water bottle instead of paper cups.
