"WISH" RECYCLING PUTS TOWNSHIP RECYCLING AT RISK
The Township has received another contamination fee for last month's recycling, which sadly means that the entire recycling went into a landfill.
"Wish recycling" or wishing something can be recycled might come from the best of intentions, but it does not make it recyclable. Items such as Christmas lights in the plastic bin and motorcycle parts in the cardboard bin were not recyclable and contaminated the entire bin.
Signs on the recycling containers state that only clean, dry plastic and glass bottles and jars are accepted. Bottles and jars with food, beverage or other remnants are not acceptable because melting down the plastic with burned scraps of food leads to contaminated plastic. Take the time to scrub the jar with a brush to remove the peanut butter. Pizza and hamburger cardboard containers with greasy residue left behind also impacts the quality of recycled materials. Clean items processed with that greasy package or stuck-on food contaminates the entire batch.
Please, do not leave your recyclables in plastic bags, which jams the recycling machines. Styrofoam is not recyclable. Please don't leave it or other plastic packing materials in the cardboard box.
The Township recycling program only works with your help. Please recycle responsibly.
GROUNDWATER UPDATE
The precipitation factor remains in "EMERGENCY" status.
Local groundwater data (https://bntgroundwater.org/local-hydrologic-status-report) is now at a "WATCH" - a serious development due to groundwater levels nearing historic lows and still falling. Shallow wells may be at risk. Please continue to use water wisely.
