City recycling support varies from city to city. For those that live in our local community, Winston-Salem, NC, here's a list of things you should recycle. Anything not on this list should not be recycled at this time.
Ever wonder if a particular piece of cardboard or plastic can be recycled? Can you recycle cereal boxes, for example? Can you recycle plastic or cardboard that doesn't have the recycling symbol on it? Below is some more detail on what you should, and should not, recycle.
Chipboard – this would be cereal boxes, dry food boxes, paper towel rolls, toilet paper rolls. NO Styrofoam egg cartons, waxed aluminum foiled or plastic coated boxes, such as milk, juice cartons, frozen food cartons, etc. If the pkg has inside chipboard it can be recycled. NO pizza boxes, boxes with grease or food residue, or packing materials.
Glass bottles – only clear, green or brown. NO ceramics, dishes, drinking glasses, light bulbs, mirrors, Pyrex, window glass or any glass that is not a container.
Plastic bottles & jugs – The neck of the container must be smaller than the base or widest part. NO bottle caps or tops, containers that are not bottles, such as deli or yogurt containers, margarine tubs or wide-mouth prescription bottles.
