If it’s “stringy”… keep it out of your bin.

Tanglers get caught in our equipment and force us to shut down to get them out – wasting time and damaging our equipment. So what classifies as “stringy” and what should you do with it instead?

Examples to KEEP OUT OF RECYCLING BIN:

  • Garden Hoses (Donate for re-use or throw away)
  • Metal Wire (Bring to a scrap dealer who specializes in metal, like TJN)
  • Electronics Cords (Bring to the Household Hazardous Waste facility for Recycling)
  • Power Cords (Bring to the Household Hazardous Waste facility for Recycling)
  • Rope (Reuse or throw away)
  • Holiday and Christmas String lights (Bring to the Household Hazardous Waste facility for Recycling)
  • Ribbon (Reuse for crafts or other gifts)
  • Yarn (Reuse or throw away)
  • Garland (Reuse or throw away)
  • Tinsel (Reuse or throw away)
  • Scarves/Any Fabric (Donate for re-use or throw away)
  • Shoe Laces (Donate for re-use or throw away)
  • VHS Tapes (Bring to the Household Hazardous Waste facility for Recycling)
