The simple act of placing oil or any other non-recyclable material into a recycling container can contaminate an entire load of clean recyclables.

Almost half of the contents of the entire truck were contaminated and had to be hauled to a landfill. One of the truck loads of recyclable material was contaminated by tar improperly disposed of in the recycling cart. Hazardous materials and other non-recyclable items placed into recycling containers caused the contamination of 6 loads of recyclable materials in April. The resident will have to remove the items and put it out on their next collection day. Recycling barrels that contain non-recyclable items will be tagged with an orange sticker and not collected.
