City of Santee Recycling News Spring 2020 Celebrate Earth Day Every Day By Recycling RIght! You can make the most of your recycling efforts by being mindful of the items you place in your recycling container and avoiding contamination. Recycling contamination is caused when trash is introduced to the recycling stream. Contaminants can include items such as plastic bags, hoses, wires, liquids and food waste. These contaminants have the potential to ruin an entire batch of recyclables! For example, food or liquids placed in the recycling cart can contaminate paper and cardboard by saturating the materials and making it impossible to recycle! You can prevent this problem by following these simple rules to recycle right: 1. Empty all bottles, cans and beverage cartons before recycling. 2. Keep food and liquids out of your recycling. 3. Place items loosely inside your recycling cart, no plastic bags. See reverse for more information on how to recycle right! Waste Management observes the following holidays: Residential collection service will be delayed one day following the above holidays. If a holiday falls on a Saturday or Sunday, there will be no delay. Holidays Labor Day Thanksgiving Day Christmas Day New Year’s Day Memorial Day Independence Day Earth Day April 22nd Spring cleaning? Let us help! Residents can schedule two free bulky item pick-ups per calendar year (up to 6 items per pick-up). These items are picked up on service days and need to be placed at the curb by 6:00am.
